Credit card fraud, goods now on ebay!
Discussion
We had a few items purchased via our web-shop, which turned out to be via a stolen credit card all being delivered to a rental flat in Birmingham.
The same items have just appeared on an Ebay shop, with the seller also having an address in Birmingham. We know they are ours as they are totally unique products.
We will call the police again but just wondered what others might do or have any experience of this, even though this is blatant the authorities don't really seem to care much when we talk to them.
With billions of pounds of goods stolen in this way each year you would have though something could be done by now?

email response from the police:
– I am in the process of attempting to get the local force to investigate several matters; yours included. This is not proving currently very successful, as their argument is that the enquiries are all elsewhere and the organisational UK agreements were that the local force to the enquiries would deal. I have no influence over them. In addition I have been on leave and catching up. I have your details and confirm they are being looked at.

I want an update!
We have given up. The police have not returned any of our calls and appear to have kicked it into the long grass.I suggest to others contact the BBC and your local press, they were interested in bringing in a crew to film us but I wasn't around at the right time. Plus we are small potatoes really compared to what some have lost.
This seems to be the only way to get a reaction, make a load of noise and see what happens, what else can we do if the police don't care, I am awaiting a call back from a local reporter to see if he can get anything out of them?
Until this happened I never really appreciated how bad this all was, £20 million a day apparently: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/03/30/uk_financ...
