If the police can't help do something about it yourself.
Use your imagination, you have his bank details and you know he banks at the Halifax.
If it was me I'd seek out someone who could give me his address....

On a serious note, you have to take a risk when buying off people on forums, best to avoid it where you can. Personally i dont buy or sell to people with less than 5 100% iTrader.

but not everybody gives/recieves itrader feedback when they purchase something

I doubt youll be able to get him done, because youve sent him cash through a random forum striaght to his bank. He could easily just say that you were sending him money as a friend or summit, There is no proof and i doubt you will get anywhere, sorry

Not gonna happen....data protection act
If people would only have a bit of common sense when it comes to purchasing there wouldnt be a problem.

what do you mean data protection act i have his details already???? it wasnt a case off common sense mate he was a premium member who replied to my wanted add there was nothing dodgy at the time i had his name phone number, who he banks with, sort code account number, i also have a friend in the police force who can access these things to find out who it is and the address. if you thought someone was going to mug you off would you expect to recieve these?

I always make sure i give / recieve it as should everyone wether it be negative or positive. It's a good way to establish wether people are trustworthy so that you can sell or buy from them
