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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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?

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.
