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 |

Boys in blue? Like they will do anything. Its a civil matter according to them and not interested....
Especially when the person contacting them is also one of them :p |
You don't need to be logged on to read the forum,I'm pretty sure Dozzer is reading this.
Give your head a wobble lad,sort your morals out and give these lads an answer ffs! Not just immoral but criminal. |
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. |

it is technically a criminal offence and at the least the would make a visit.

You've both got messages. Please DO NOT make that information public!

Has anyone else had better luck than me trying to get hold of this guy?
|
nothing either mate. it kinda puts me off buying from here now cos even tho it was a small purchase (not for you id be fuming if it was £200+) the guy was a long time member and yeh you dont expect that...

Well if he has stitched you guys up we can be glad he got stitched up on that Type R

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. |

People never learn pay the seller the extra what 4% most then buy with protection from paypal
|
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 :thumb: |

It's obvious why it happens in the Subaru groups, only a small percentage are actually enthusiasts. The rest are just "scene" cnuts passing through and it's not hard to spot them, their cars give them away.
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? |
It's a crying shame this has happened on scoobynet
|
Think charge back has to be on a purchase more than £99
|
It was only a few months back that this guy posted his full address on SNet and invited me over for an exchange of pleasantries after I had apparently impugned his honour. Perhaps someone else took him up on his offer.

I would guess you didn't send payment as gift/friend so was covered from being scammed?
