I dont think for a minute that you couldn't fall for it, these guys are very very good at what they do, its their way of life and are experts at what they do.

You have a point with the other thread, although he might get his money back from PayPal so if that's the case then not so stupid but thats a discussion for the other thread.

if he knew him for two years he surely would know where he bloody lived:thumb:

My first post that you referenced to was about the op who knew the seller for 2 years, you are now talking about a different guy and quite frankly I dont know.

all i can say is its sad that a genuine bloke has been ripped off, but as in most these cases they have lost money due to doing something stupid be it paypal gift to a stranger or handing over keys and v5s

The op has said that he has been stupid or something to that affect but how does rubbing salt in his wounds help.

In my experience seeking out individuals and trying to resolve things yourself doesn't get your money back, that said sadly l doubt the people that have been ripped off will ever get a proper financial settlement though they might have the satisfaction of seeing the con man in court.

I hope you get this all sorted out Darren. Most of us do appreciate the heads up on sick ripoff merchants like this. Others just like to turn every decent thread into playground arguments! Fortunately this is a minority and most decent lads n lasses on here love to help out where possible. Good luck with catching this scum
