dan_furnival - scammer

[TipTopTom]

Hi all.
Believe I've been scammed. All relevant information here, this is the email I sent to paypal (and no, I wasn't stupid enough to send it via gift!!) :

I recently saw this person on a popular forum selling 2x iPhone 4's.

My mother and I have been looking to buy these for ourselves for a while and the price seemed too good to be true! Apparently, it was!

The link to the forum is here:
http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=357466&highlight=iphone

This person's username is dan_furnival.
Mine is Tiptoptom.

After readin this, I sent dan_furnival a private message. Here is the conversation:

Me-
Hey man, been looking for an iphone for a while, as has my mum! We're both on orange and both interested!

Will take both of them off your hands if you still have them?

dan_furnival -
they are still for sale had quite a few pm's now but givin u first refusal as u messaged me 1st

Me -
Hi man,

Address is:

Tom Murphy
18 Elmwood Avenue
Bridgwater
Somerset
TA66AQ

Have you got paypal? Not going to do it any other way. And just to be sure I'm not scamming you, it would be best if you sent them with a service than needs signitures so you can prove I've got them.

I've been scammed in the past with paypal!

Tom.

dan_furnival -
paypal is dan_furnival@hotmail.com postage will be 4£ recorded delivery



After this point I sent payment and asked if he'd recieved it. He never wrote back, and have recieved no items, and no replies so far to countless emails.

Tom.

[Yellow_Saxo_Paul]

so two phones at £350 each= £700 plus the recorded delivery £4= £704 you have been apparently scammed?

Ouch, least you did it over goods/services.

[TipTopTom]

Yup. Was sceptical to say the least. But that's a massive saving on normal price. Had to try.

Still, I'll get it back I think.

[MikeYost]

I looked at these and it did tempt me, glad I didn't! Scamming cunt

[TipTopTom]

I just wondered if he did the same with anyone else. Because there's no point selling to one person if hes scamming. Nobody knew I was buying, he could have "sold" them to loads.

[VTHall]

i remember seeing these advertised.

[rorz_vts]

same that would of been a bargain bud, seams to me like he got the money and done a runner as he hasnt been back on sax-p since

[bfc2dabone]

has this all been sorted out, just hes got another one in the 4 sale section

[VTHall]

nice bump bfc

[Oli]

nice bump bfc

Reasonable bump as he is trying to sell the same thing again tbh...

[haz_pro]

Just VTHall being a bellend as usual to be honest.

wtf?
I said it was a nice bump, reason being he lives in shropshire (as i do) and ive even messaged the guy who is owed £700 quid + which he can vouch for saying if i he can get an adress ill go down to this guy and see whats going on.

Now stop fucking butting in and get your facts right. Idiot.

[haz_pro]

Haha my bad :-P thought you were being sarcastic.

[devilsadvocate]

So glad I didnt buy these, hopefully the fuzz get hold of him and he gets bummed in prison.....assuming he is guilty :)

When people say nice bump its usally ment sarcasticly, apologies if it wasn't.

[bfc2dabone]

nice bump bfc

its ok vthall, i knew wot you ment lol ;)

[VTHall]

I dont really know how i confused anyway, this thread was dead and buried so i just said good bump to bring it to everyones knowledge.

[dan_furnival]

this money has been refunded, there was a cock up with the postal service i have receipts to prove they were sent but never got signed for, i am NOT a scammer this was a genuine mistake i have been in talks with the post office and i have had the items returned!!!!!!!

[VTHall]

pics of reciepts?

[ric_b3]

Good question

[TipTopTom]

Just saw the thread in the for sale section! Trying it again?!

Hold on, "all sorted"? You never replied to the my messages or to the paypal dispute/claim and never mentioned anything about posting at all! It was sorted by paypal because they could see you're a scammer!

I would have been perfectly willing to wait had you actually responded.

Actually, lets see these receipts then!


Dont listen to a word people. And DON'T send via gift.

[VTHall]

still waiting on these pics of reciepts.

[TipTopTom]

Must have misplaced them. Or maybe he sent them to saxp but saxp returned them?

Seems like an odd thing to name a photo of yourself. Ps, cant ACTUALLY see the receipts...

[haz_pro]

Sorry double post.

[VTHall]

slightly harsh, still a scammer though.

[VTHall]

'Your just scum for doing what you did.
i also live in shropshire so it would be wise to return the money without facing consequences of a little visit from myself and other shropshiredians off here.

that is all.'

sent to dan_furnival.


P.s fantastic work gaz!!

[gazwhittle]

I tried searching that haha, i obviously failed bad.

I havent been scammed and it still makes me what this scrote has done. Im not a violent person at all but if i had been scammed by this guy i would have found it hard not to become aggresive.

EDIT: Just seen the boobs haha wow.

[VTHall]

just an arsehole really...

[Giraffe]

Lol, I live down the road from where that man in the pictures lives

[Ryan]

Will be looking into this more now the OP has also decided to post a fake photo.

[haz_pro]

Nice to know, its really annoying to think even in a community like saxperience you still have people trying to con people for such large amount of money! (not that its right to do it for any amount of money)

[blackie_2k5]

wow, clearly proved he is a scammer now:n: lot of moeny too

[TipTopTom]

I tried to find it and failed too! Even tried "bald guy holding reciepts" haha!

It's kind of reassuring to know everyones out to help (makes a change from eBay...), thanks guys :)

[shannon-ob]

Nice one Gaz! Has he returned any money though?

[Mordente10]

what a prick :S

[Havark]

haha!! that was a good read!! hope you got your money back?

[saxo_singh]

Never knew that dan_furnival was a scammer :S I went to his house to pick up bucket seats and harnesses, altough he didnt tell me drivers side sliding mechanism needing rebuilding :S still, he done some scamming he's gone, ahh well.

[blackie_2k5]

this means youll have his address or know where he lives.....

[saxo_singh]

this means youll have his address or know where he lives.....

If your replying to me, then il have to find his address, was about 1 year ago now.

[Oc2]

Get the whole of Saxp parked outside his house :)

Think a mahooosive crowd of us would be quite intimidating ;)

[VTHall]

ive already asked and messaged a few saxo shropshiredians if they wanna come down and get his money back?

[Oc2]

Wooot!


videos or it didnt happen!

[VTHall]

and this is so immature. I know you probably think you are doing the right thing or just backing up fellow sax-pers but really you are just sticking your nose in other people's business.

Even if you got the whole of saxp round to his house, what are they going to do? Stand outside his house shouting abuse and get an asbo?

This just needs to be discussed between the two parties, maybe a moderator, but saxp aren't to blame for what has happened, and the police. No-one else is helping the situation...

[Mordente10]

llf nah i think your being a pap saying that.. get a crowd go to the cunts door.. and wola there is your moneyyyyy back :D.. simples!! Brown nose going to the police, they do fuck all bout it lmao!!

look what happened to that guy of the other forum...
nuff said really.

[Tom_Crx]

So let me get this straight. Your argument for going round to his house, with a load of other narrow minded sax-p members is because of what happened to "that" guy from the "other" forum.

No, but this guy lives miles away and is £700 quid down, totally wrong.

Edit: I dont know how were narrow minded, surely that makes us the opposite?

[TipTopTom]

Paypal has refunded the money in full.

Took them long enough, but very glad to have it back!

[J222JRA]

Glad you eventually got your money back, user has now been perma banned from the forum.
