this grade a mock cuncher seems to have got so many people.

ip address tracking can sometimes help but it is far from easy. for example, aland has been linked to the same ip as toomany in the past.

as chuff says, common sense is the real answer. for example, what do you think to this thread?
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=151713

now to me, that smells to high heaven. new sign up, did 10 posts then has something for sale that is way too cheap. account can also be seen doing a lot of reading of the wanted section. it very well could be genuine but what do people need to make them more aware/suspicious?

please say you didnt send it as a gift .  :shocked:

and it is getting frightening how many people he got this time.  :angry:

and further to my last, with the amount he is getting he can just keep buying different wireless dongles thus you will never be able to track thus block his ip addresses  :lipsrsealed:

embarrased, ive been buying online for 8years and b#never been scammed..

this b**tard hewitt screwed me for £70.

i puit up a wanted thread for quad headlights, my telephone number on the advert, he text me, we did a deal via bank transfer..

i have a sort code and account number for his bank- i'll be contacting the authorities...

im ashamed at being scammed- i never looked at his profile on here until this evening when i got home- as soon as i saw the date he registered- i knew id been hit.

£70 -lost.. :sick:
