Oh right thanks for confirming that, I've never really looked into it to be honest I allways go into the bank if I want to withdraw large amounts

For what it's worth if this is genuine I apologise and never in a million years knowingly did anything to deceive anyone and will happily account for my movements in full to try to help the police, I genuinely hope this gets resolved and that the op doesn't end up out of pocket.

Did the seller not contact the buyer when he found out notes were fake?

This could go on forever so once again I know nothing about this at all and had no part in anything untoward.

I mean you report it, and quick. As it may back up you side of the story and others might well have had issues with fakes.

I rang him and messaged him before this thread had no answer and not even a call off him. If he would like to either return my parts or swap the money for real notes then he can deal with the cash machine people. I only see the advice slip not what was written. I can get the CCTV from morrisons for the police as I have many friends that are managers at the store
It's entirely up to him now I'm an honest bloke and buy and sell cars and parts for a living.
You have my number you can call me to deal with this
Il be seeing the police tomorrow anyway to let you know

And you told me you could only take £300 out the bank you gave me 18 £20's with the same serial numbers which is £360 so you are lying somewhere
As I only had £5 notes in my wallet before hand and I can confirm that from the person that paid me for parts with them.

It's funny all this as I was going to comment earlier in the thread, but decided, as we only had one side of the story, to desist from doing so. Someone said on here the other day that the trouble with scammer threads is, all other things being equal, whoever gets their side of story out there first is generally considered the innocent party especially when many supporting posts are made to help the OP with their 'predicament'!

All that works fine when a poster is a regular and trusted member of the community, but not so well when they are a new member. In this case both sides are new members so it's difficult to know who to believe.

It does, however, illustrate the wisdom of staying out of it until the facts are more transparent!

Not being funny, but it's the op's own fault for not checking the paperwork !! There's always a flood of fake doe around Xmas time !! And if he does go to the police, they will confiscate the money !! And doesn't the op say he went to the bank to deposit the cash ? If he did the back would also confiscate it ! Something fishy here !!

Not anything fishy I didn't say I went to deposit them at the bank I went and asked them what I could do with them as the shop I went into to pay for something said to try the bank see if they can take them and give me real money, as silly as it sounds it was worth a shot.
They informed me to keep the money and call the police and get them to deal with it. I'm no c*nt why would I **** about causing crap on a forum that I'm trying to sell my parts on and make myself look a tw*t trying to have someone over
If his address is real then the police can go see what he has to say if he got the money from a cash machine then fair enough they can reimburse me and that will be end of. But from what he has said about only being able to take £300 out and giving me £360 of the identical note with matching serial numbers it's highly doubtful. I told him in a pm and on here to call me to deal with it so if he does fair play to the guy of not obviously he will be trying to hide something
And as fresh as these notes are they won't have many peoples prints on and yes the police are taking them for forensics as I was informed that on the phone.

i may be wrong but tesco asda sainsbury all fill thier own cash machines, as they want to get rid of it, the banks charge them to collect it and count it, the more they bank the more they get charged, that's why they are trained to ask, would you like any cash back, when you pay by card

Don't take this as a dig as I am only letting you know the score, but if you are a trader you will need to register as one on SN to sell your parts here

More than that. A CCTV operator/user would be breaching the DPA (and other privacy laws) if they released footage to anyone other than an authorised person.

In the interim period though(the time it will take for the paperwork from ActionFraud to get to the investigating force),there won't be any harm in making contact with the supermarket and having the footage downloaded,ready for it to be picked up by the bib.
After a month,it will probably be over written so get it secured now...

Surprised at a bank saying keep hold of it and deal with police, as I understood it was the banks duty to confiscate any dodgy cash, although I suppose if you don't hand it over they can't physically take it off you....... May have answered my own point there.

Most important thing to take from all this is that there is far too much of this **** going on full stop.
