    Ill post you some fictional bombers just send me some monies.

    Maybe contact your bank and see if they can help recover money if you have no joy with the seller.

    What a bummer.

    The seller has been a member of the site for only a week. I fear you cash has disappeared for good I’m afraid.

    Never, ever pay by Bank Transfer as you get no protection – insist on Paypal.

    I also learned the hard way being ripped off by that idiot Peter Gratwick aka Freeform5Spot on STW. Now banned I believe.

    If everybody insisted on Paypal which they dont i would never sell anything as i dont have paypal.Never ripped any-one off and post straight away.Had only two problems on here over the years selling stuff.One guy accused me of not sending his inner tubes when i never had the chq even though he said the bank told him it been pay in which it had not.Told him to check his account and it had never gone out.Never apologised some nice people on here.Most are sound.But not all.

    Get Paypal then ?!

    Takes about 2 minutes.

    You will find it harder and harder to sell stuff on here without it. Too many people being ripped off with other payment methods.

    If you have an e-mail address and a bank account why would you not set up a paypal account, especially if you are buying and selling on forums?

    I recently sold a hefty sums worth in one hit on here. All done by bank transfer and one happy customer.

    2 differences though

    I’m well known on STW and have been for years.
    I spoke to the bloke on the phone.

    I have decided not to buy items after checking someone’s history, and anything expensive I only buy from close enough to pick up.

    It’s such a bummer, stuff like this.

    I have reported it and the powers at be did nothing.

    He is using an assumed name in his profile as well. They don’t care about that either.

    Surely it’s theft and getting the police involved they would be able to access the bank records and get an address for the person?

    Hasn’t anybody been beaten senseless for pulling stunts like this yet?

    what happened to Lee Anderson?

    STW is easy pickings for loads of thieving scrotes.

    OP, either call the fuzz or stamp on his face. Please.
