Re: Is this a crime?
This is certainly fraud. Conning someone into sending a demo unit to them instead of back to you puts both the person they sent it to and themselves in danger. Technically you'll likely have to go after the customer who was supposed to return the unit and they'll have to go after this person. Since it sounds like you never offered a commission, only a bulk discount I wouldn't think twice about not paying this person. Also the quicker you cut your loses with this type of person the better off you'll be...This sort of person needs to be reported but they count on not being reported or no one being able to prove anything. If you can afford it consult a lawyer.
