Scammed !

[karl-antro]

Well i was looking for a unlocked vts ecu and just posted a thread up in the wanted section, i got a few replys saying ive got one and that etc.. Then i recieved a Pm from a member on here saying he has one and will sell it me for £55 posted so i fort oh that reasonable deal so said yes i will have it. So next day i went bank and payed him the money in, by bank transfer once he had give me his details, i txt him to say i had payed the money and he said yeah i recived it and will send it out. I waited a few days and was wondering when it will turn up and he kept on blanking me and didnt anwser or return my calls or txt's then i pm'd him on here saying has it been posted and got a reply after sending 3 or 4 saying 'i will chase it up' and it has now been around 2 weeks since i payed him can anyone give any advice and just like to warn people about this his user is 'saxxy1988'

I also have his Mob number and bank details if that helps.
So i think i have been scammed :wall:

[Pieface]

Help for what? Nothings going to happen on this forum, it's not their fault.

[Phsyco_Paff]

Yet anouther scam ?

I did say the post count should be more like a 1000 to stop noobs being scammed anyone that gets scammed after posting a thousand times deserves it tbh.

Sorry to hear that mate mabey if you spent a bit longer on this site (like 775 posts longer) you would of been aware of the scams that happen.

[Liam_LFC_VTR]

Note to self, don't buy anything from this site ;)


Pikey cunts

[Ryan]

Was the bank account nik hewitt?

if so do a search on this user on here

[Claireeyy]

Has there not been a thread about this user before?
Unlucky though

[BazzaC]

Dont bank transfer money? :\

[SaxoAL]

that nik hewitt pops up everywhere!

[Phsyco_Paff]

Stop it :homme: im from dagenham ftw

[J222JRA]

there has been a massive thread about this guy...yet people still keep buying from him.

I personally would never pay someone via bank transfer unless they were a very close friend...its just asking for trouble.

I recommend in the future people pay via paypal goods/service so atleast you have a chance of claiming your money back if necessary.

scammed on about 5-6 forums, people still keep paying into bank accounts with his name on though.

Anyone who has paid BT to a nik hewitt and has recieved no goods go to the police.

Thats why :y:

[Mike_420]

unlucky mate, never pay by bank transfer, or as a gift via paypal.

and always either check their itrader or get someone to confirm that they are a reliable seller.

atleast you will know not to do it next time, could have cost you much more!

[karl-antro]

yeah the account is under name of NP HEWITT

Not this guy again, needs to be shot.

[karl-antro]

i never knew about this guy and take it he has ripped a few people off then

[Phsyco_Paff]

THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BARKING & DAGENHAM = Corretc

[Ryan]

i never knew about this guy and take it he has ripped a few people off then

search for his name theres been several threads.

we thought he had left sax-p for good but seems not, as I said initially the more people report him to the police the more chance there is of the scumbag getting caught.

[Phsyco_Paff]

saxxy1988

+1 to that

[Pieface]

I'd never do Bank Transfer or Paypal gift to a member I don't know, especially if they asked it.

[SaxoAL]

I think a sticky, entitled *DO NOT BUY FROM ANYONE USING BANK ACCOUNT NAME N P HEWITT* ??
Right at the top of the for sale forum, in big red bold letters. Hopefully people will get the message then. As this guy has ripped sooo many people off, its untrue!

[karl-antro]

Well yeah learnt that the hard way :n:

[Rob-6]

sorry to hear that mate

there was a big sticky people didnt read it.

I have been for the last few mins been drafting a few bits for additional notes to stop nik scamming (hopefully)

[SaxoAL]

just make sure you report him mate. He's probably a little dweeb sitting at his computer, just waiting to be locked up!

[karl-antro]

Is there not a way of catching this guy ?

Ridiculous really mate isn't it? People should just be doing bank trasfers to be honest, but I cannot seem to grasp how he is still getting away with it. His name has been about for quite a while now.

[SaxoAL]

the police can do that for you mate, aslong as you report it. Contrary to popular belief, they do collate all reports and build a case.

[SaxoAL]

Spoof thread, or spending someone elses money? (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=270657)

hes getting away with it because loads of people who said they would go police didnt.

It needs everyone to keep pestering the police over it, they will soon sort it if they get enough reports

[karl-antro]

Probaly spending someone else money

[karl-antro]

I went to the police and they told me to speak to consumer rights.

[Phsyco_Paff]

It's funny how if they get 1 report of someone driving erratic they are all over it in a flash makes me chuckel how the police go about there bisness and where there priorties lie.

Dunno about you mate, but I'd go to the police over a tenner! (look after the pennies bla bla et) And to my knowledge, this guy has been doing £50's, £100's left right and centre. I'm urging people to go to the police over it. It takes 5mins to make a call and a couple of statements which isn't too much is it?

[craig180]

I've just sent £700 by bank transfer to someone on here I've never met before. Am I the slightest bit concerned I may get scammed? Simple answer is no, because I've covered my back.

Harsh lesson learnt I hope?

[Phsyco_Paff]

Bhaaaaaaahahaha...... thats the police for you mate got to much on there hands like pulling people over for no reason just because your young and drive a saxo and they need to check the db the (noise level) of your exhaust i love my country honest

[SaxoAL]

To be fair mate, when the publics lives are at risk (ie: dangerous driving) then that does take priority. But every criminal piece of activity in this world is in theory meant to be dealt with.

[Paul]

Imagine how much he has earnt overall, 6+ forums.. loads of members on each..

Got to be thousands?

Surely the police must be building a case by now? How many people have actually reported him?

[Lozza_vtr]

Well, they are helpful. Not.

reports are hes had more than a couple of grand.

[SaxoAL]

Wasn't there a huge thread on one of the forums where someone found out loadssss of intricate details about him. Full name, address, google map pictured his house and everything?

[Ryan]

i think it was on here in one of the sections.

Sean had the police at his house over it once to try and help members out, we prob have details back in mods somewhere but they cannot be distributed because of data protection.

if the police contacted simo for them though, which is why we say report it to police

[kenny]

report it to police

[alexsmith]

post his number up then mate

[karl-antro]

post his number up then mate

What number?

[SaxoAL]

this one? (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=271433&highlight=saxxy1988)

Looks like a couple of people in that thread bought from him, mint-vtr, hammy,tommygun. So all have been scammed there it seems?

[alexsmith]

What number?

mobile number

[kenny]

my advice to all going on about numbers.



DONT POST IT HERE !!!!!

[SaxoAL]

I need to add my phone number more.

[karl-antro]

mobile number

Why should i post his mobile number up ?

[alexsmith]

Because hes scammed my mate, don't bother then.

[karl-antro]

Because hes scammed my mate, don't bother then.

Ive Pm'd it you mate.

[Bowey]

he needs a beat down

[Jungle_Jim]

guys rather than posting new and individual threads about this guy, it would make sense to create one post with all the peoples names and forum names, how much you have paid him and for what item. that way you can get a big list together then get someone to contact their local trading standards about it/

example (i have not bought anything of this guy but thought it easier if everyone keeps to a set template so have done this as a sample)

1) James Pettipher (Jungle_Jim), front bumper, £50, 23/11/09, payment via paypal

[Roj]

How do you know this case is him? the dude who started the thread hasnt even posted the username of who he brought it off has he?

Or do you know its him because of the bank transfer thing?

[Jungle_Jim]

just like to warn people about this his user is 'saxxy1988'


see last line of first post mate, and yes the sax-p staff are well aware of Saxxy1988

[deks36]

dont believe same user again when will people learn paypal or pick it up

just a small question how is he still able to contact people can he not be excluded from site?

[jaybiss]

yes and no deks

you can do an ip ban where the user can not get on the site at all but some peoples do not have static ip's meaning that they are changing all the time

plus mobile phones ip addresses are never the same

[RobVT]

Anyone know where he lives, why not go to his house and give him a good proper hiding

[Krys_23]

He got £50 off me over a year ago, Prick must have made some money.

[deks36]

read this far been scammed then report it to the police, no action can be taken unless you report it. then and only then can something be done about scammers
its not pointless the more reports the easier it is for action to be taken
