Robbed?
Just to see how many fraudulent sellers are on here. i got a pm from saxxy1988 replying to my request for subframes for my new corbeau forza seats, i asked to use paypal but he said he didnt use them, so we agreed i would put £60 cash into his bank account and he would send them when funds show in his account, this was on the 23.11.09 still not arrived! he claims he sent them but when i requested proof of postage he said he would send the reciept via picture message again another thing which didnt arrive, so i asked him to send the pic via my e-mail which was all agreed to, and again has not arrived im at a loose end what shall i do i have asked for a refund and gues what...... completely ignored!!! i have all his bank details still any suggestions??? HELP!!!!

Because you've sent cash i dont thing you have a chance of getting it back, although you have all his bank details do something with that like see if you can go shopping with it or just sell his numbers to someone.lol

Sax-p convoy to his house
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.

Did he ask you to pay via western union first?
Alarm bells shoudl have been rining when he asked you to place cash in his bank. It could have been anyones.
Lesson learned.

People need to report this to police and mods/admin so that there accounts can be blocked. Happens way to often now. As a club what can be done to stop this happening. Simo changed the rules so that they needed 50 or 100 posts before they can post in the for sales section, so now you see people spaming gen chat just to get enough posts. The more the rules change the more people find ways round them. Some thing needs to happen, but what can be done.

If youve got his bank details the police may be able to gather his name and address. Or maybe not due to data protection?
Worth ringing the police to find out though

A verification system could be put in place. Meaning you had to request a sellers account. Which a verification code is then posted to an address. Or Sax-P could charge for example £0.01 from someones bank account, which would verify the name and address etc as it would have to match the details on their bank account.
I dont know how hard this would be to impliment.
Just an Idea
