SCAMMER. MARTYN RIMMER.
« on: 23 June 2013, 15:46 »
he answered a ad i had on looking for some lupo coilovers and agreed on a price delivered, he gave me his bank details so i went to the local one and put the money into his account and got a rcpt on monday, he msgd me saying the courier had collected them on wed and would be here on fri 48hrs, i msgd him late on fri saying they never arrived so he said he would contact the courier and get back to me, he did saying there was traffic problems but would def be there by ten on sat morning, they never arrived so i contacted him and he said he would get write onto them, i asked for the couriers info and he did not answer then he blocked me from mailing him and deleted his account from fcbk. I did check his profile on fcbk and he had pictures of his family and cars so thought he must be genuine. how wrong was i...
PS i have kept all of the correspondance we had..Anyone know him he lives in Tamworth..

You paid via bank transfer instead of a protected method, cut your losses and learn from it!

it's been less than a week, sometimes couriers misplace packages in depots and then relocate them, give it atleast a few more days

Give him time to deliver, then if nothing turns up go check the address out but bear in mind he has yours too!
