Has anybody had any dealings with this guy?

[DMTVR]

Hi, i found these in the classified(link below, Reference #2324020) and after a game of email tennis everything seemed ok so after he gave me his bank details i transferred the money and awaited delivery. On the 15/12/10 was told they were dispatched so contacted a few times to obtain tracking number but had no reply. The thing that now seemed odd was how the wheels were in his warehouse in Scotland and the user is in Derbyshire? Now i know its been 'bad weather' recently and people go away for Christmas but how long should it take?

Any input would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

If you're in Derby as 'he' is, why didn't you ask to pick them up when he had them and pay him cash?

When I saw Derbyshire I did and he apologised for the mix up telling me that wheels were in his warehouse in belshil, lanacshire, and as other wheels for sale presumed ran as a business and dispatched from up there.

Just wanted to see if anyone else had anything to do with this guy and hopefully put my mind at rest.

No phone number? Scam.

Always so bloody careful as well!!! I have collected all of the emails together, copys of the three adverts and have his sort code and bank details can the police do anything as this is fraud and obtaining money through deception?

This has several links and lines of enquiry you can pursue to work out your next steps if the goods don't turn up. We will also help here at PH, so if you need anything then drop us an email (though we are back in the office on 4th Jan, and a limited skeleton service monitoring emails, so we might be slow on responding at the moment)
