Funny thing is... anyone could find out the exact location of where he's logging on

saxo-parts · 4th December 2009, 21:09

has he got multiple id's as its very similar to the saxovt1/blueocean scammers style? scamming scum want locking up, i'm on several forums,not just for cars, and i've never had any bother till the past few weeks.

I have no idea... but if someone has his IP i will

Oh if you have his bank details call the police. End.

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.

saxo-parts · 4th December 2009, 21:26

sounds like another alias for saxovt1/blueocean if he's coming up as Derbyshire, address i had was approx 4 miles from my house

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.

Nick? Bit of a giveaway right there. Ironic

Unlucky mate

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

from what i have read, he has been pm'ing the members

Claireeyy · 4th December 2009, 21:29

Should have said no when he asked you to put it straight into his account likes. but you will ken for next time

peter_10sax · 4th December 2009, 21:29

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

peter_10sax · 4th December 2009, 21:33

i completetly see it all now im such a d**k i just thought as he was a member on here it would be ok, he pm'ed me saying he had them as said above, we text arranging it all i thought if he was willing to give me all his sort code and account number it had to be logit...... fool
