Any way on a pest control forum and other forums he advertised a BSA ultra single for £180 - i sent cash via special delivery and an absolute nightmare began of unanswered phone calls, emails etc began - the excuses just rolled out - it was his brothers, the gun had been sent twice, it was at his mothers etc etc etc - it was mind boggling. Went on for weeks - granted have battled and got some back ( taken weeks ! ) still owes me, guess i can kiss it good bye - any one dealing with him and want to read some real nice emails - please drop me a line. i'll back up all i state.

SNAKEBITE Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I know it is a long story mate but could you post a few more details please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Sorry to hear that. Cant say as I ever noticed he posted on here ? I hope you have some luck in getting your money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 We have nobody registered as, "ricksta", or "bsa1", or any variation of those names. The person you are referring to would be foolish to use those names again, on any shooting Forum. It just proves that the advice given in the Terms and Conditions on the Buy, Sell, or Swap section, is worth taking notice of. I hope you get some, or all of your money back and I would notify the police. Whichever Forum you made contact with this person on, may be able to give the police information that could help them locate him. Personally, I would hunt the scum down until I got my money back.

Any idea of his full name so I can keep my ear to the ground in case his name comes up anywhere. May even be able to find out his real address if it does. G.M.

mel b3 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 i'd guess that his real addy is the one posted above (the addy i assume the gear was posted to), he really is as thick as a brick so he's probably just trying to throw the fella off the scent. CALL THE POLICE NOW, YOU'VE BEEN ROBBED AND NOW YOU'RE BEING BLACKMAILED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyjaimz Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 In eastern countries if you steal something, they cut off your hand. They dont have many theives - coincidence? hmmm... Hate isnt a word in my vocabulary, but I really strongly dislike thieves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Do go to the police. I've a friend who got scammed in the same way on ebay over some car wheels that were never sent. Basically his local force made a call to the one local to the seller who paid him a visit. Though it was his mothers house she gave the right address and they basically said pay up within 7 days or we're going to arrest you for theft. This may be more complicated but just follow simple precautions for buying online and I have to say I'd not buy now if it wasn't face to face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr W Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 What a ****, taking your money and then trying to make you grovel for it back. I reckon he probably lives at home with his mum and a visit from the old bill is on order. I didn't think that the postman would give letters to people hanging around outside a house. Really annoys me as it spoils the whole buying and selling thing for everyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Aren't Royal Mail ment to deliver to the address by Law? What a scumbag I'd make it my purpose in life to find him. If he was over here and was caught he end up holding his knee caps in a Tescos bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
