This is so disappointing 
Dorian has been on the Subaru scene for many years and I'm surprised that it's come to this over a relatively small amount of money.
I hope that he sorts it out, I've given him another heads up and he's not replied to me yet, hopefully there is a good reason for it and nobody loses out

Same for me ive messaged him via facebook but had not a reply.
Ive also called the business that he owns but its closed down now over the winter period
If the worst comes to the worst i will drive the 5 hours down there to him or get the local boys in blue to pay him a visit .
How much money has he had from us
mine was £215
Its shame really ive been buying from forums for over 10 years and this is the first issue ive ever had.
Sign of the times im afraid

I read through his type r thread where he got stitched up and I'm very surprised that he's done what he's done.
My initial thought after reading that thread was maybe something has happened and maybe there's a genuine reason for it all but it's looking unlikely. it just goes to show you really can't trust anyone these days.

So when it happens to a normal person you arent interested. But to one of their own its a different story?
@alcazar will have a field day with this....

Im not saying they would do a huge amount of investigation but they would be duty bound to make a few enquiries

I'm sorry to read about people having their pants pulled down but it's always happened with Subaru owner groups for some strange reason.
Having recently come back to the marque after owning a Focus RS I can say that this type of thing never went on in the RS owner's forum I was in, I think it's a case of same old, same old and it's no wonder this forum is called Scabbynet.

I'm guilty of paying for parts from 'trusted' members on here,paying as friend and have never had a problem.
This is a lesson to everyone tho and after reading this,members being scammed by a so called 'trusted member' then I will always now pay the 4% extra for protection

The real enthusiasts will always be here but there are a lot of tw@ts who are pulling down the marque image, unfortunately the scammers seem to prey upon people's trusting nature of fellow 'enthusiasts'.

I believe you can be scammed the other way as a seller,I think it's only if paid through PayPal using a credit card? Something called charge back I think.
So if any of you guys who bought from this scam artist then have a look into this,may still be a way of getting your hard earned back?
