paid for a green induction kit about 2 weeks ago, he claims to have proof of postage as he sent it via recorded delivery yet when i ask to see this proof of postage or request the tracking code he ignore's all texts and email...:n:

[Mikey]

sounds a lil dodgy pal...

[David]

I've never heard of him to be fair... How did you pay for the item?

[Karl]

ouch. scammers :(

[Tupps]

hope u used paypal?!

[Leo]

this scamming shizts getting out of hand, it might even start to give this site a bad name even though its not the sites fault. contact paypal mate they will ask him to provide tracking info i think

[jas16v]

paid via bank transfer!

[David]

Not sure how that would work with regards to a refund...

[Connor_scotland]

do you have his bank details mate

i mind the guy on here

how far away from you is he

[jas16v]

yup i have his bank details
he's not too far, if i go up there il be taking my money along with petrol money!

[Tupps]

pay him a visit FTW, pics in a progress thread of each stage of the "money retrieval"

[AdamW]

pwned.....

[Bailey1124]

sounds like another scammer :n:

[jas16v]

pwned.....

I wont be conned im afraid, I will recieve a refund some way or other;)
He may have done it to others in the past, but this time he's made a mistake, il give him a week to resolve it!

[Connor_scotland]

good man... put his bank detail on the net then go retriece your items and get some other loot :-)

[jas16v]

what do you mean put his bank details on the net?

[Connor_scotland]

start going into chatrooms and putting his bank details up.. fuck him over real good

[Rocko]

lol post all his deatails so people can take money from his account :P


All the best dude ! :y:

[barrett]

These scams are nothing to do with saxperience and are happening very regually in the past couple of weeks across many forums. We have implemented a 50posts minium limit to create threads in the for sale section in an attempt to clamp down and stop these unfortunate events happening.

This truly empahsises the point that it is essential you take all the details of the seller and make sure you pay through secure methods to allow you extra security in the transaction.

[Connor_scotland]

The 50 post thing is a great idea :-)

[Mikey]

best way is cash on delivery, or meet up and swap money for the item

[Clone]

Hope you get your item or your money back...the 50 post thing is a good idea

[kenny]

unlucky dude, hope it gets resolved.

the 50 posts is a good idea

[Recovery]

Do a search on his name.. see how long he's been with the site etc

[Connor_scotland]

recovery this is total off topic but is that your saxo in your sig ect

[Emma_ZS]

about 90% of his threads were about stuff for sale!

[RS_Matt]

report him to his ISP

[Emma_ZS]

ISP???

[RS_Matt]

I think mods and scott can see IP numbers they can report scammers to Internet Service Providers surely?

[jas16v]

few good suggestions in here :) thanks

[vipergfx]

ISP = Internet Service Provider, and administrators have access to see which users logged on with which IP address'. I'm not sure they will disclose that information with you though, their call I guess

[sutty]

if you no his name address, DOB etc etc

Sign up for 1000's of contracts on direct debit and order the most exspensive phones you have to pay for.

All you need for most mobile networks is the above details and a acct number and sort code :D

[MTR]

Only trouble with all these things however tempting is there are serious consequences from the law. You may get scammed first but then end up with a record for fraud or worse yourself.
I would say the more physical approach is the preferable idea! ;)

[vipergfx]

hehe, yeah its tempting sure. but if you're wanting to retain your money/item, i would however try to resolve the matter in a civil way. maybe a compromise with the other party

[sutty]

Actually, if you have sent him emails.. and he has used a non web based email address you could Find out his IP from there.

But as was said above, all these things could get you in trouble. Probaly not best to do any of them, how long ago was the bank transfere ? I know Banks can pull back money, but I dont know how long you have to retrive it. I contacted the bank within 24 hours after a company taken money they shouldn't, the bank just "pulled" it back and I had my cash back.

[sutty]

Non web based email address btw to explain abit further is sending mails from outlook express etc... Sorry for the double post I dont seem to have a edit function.
