if someone has contacted you unsolicitored to sell something you should probably discuss it with a mod anyway...pop over to Pistonheads I here they have some there :D

Did you send the money for one yourself?

TurboAndy 15 January 2011 11:58 PM

This is the PM I got:

HI MATE

ive got an apple iphone 4 32gb in black,unopened,sealed on 2,its an unwanted upgrade.looking for £350 delivered ?

The poster was from SPENNYMOOR,DURHAM

TurboAndy 16 January 2011 12:01 AM

OH you have PM btw.

Jamo 16 January 2011 08:53 AM

Have either of you posted on threads where an iPhone4 was for sale? If you have, have you considered this guy may have just pmd people that he thinks mat be interested in his phone?

I've seen that username before so its not a newbie.

I got the PM from the guy too....and i wasn't looking for an IPhone 4.

ALi-B 16 January 2011 07:35 PM

Sounds dodgy! Was he a plus member?

200sex 16 January 2011 07:37 PM

i got a email from another guy and he wasnt a plusnet member and i know classicgc8 and me are on about the same guy so is there a few people trying it on

rudi93 16 January 2011 08:22 PM

the person in question is not a plusnet member,as its me who has been ripped off.

drb5 17 January 2011 08:31 AM

What happened fella?

I got the same one as well.

lordharding 17 January 2011 08:42 AM

You might as well post the username of him

Also tts and nesf forums someone might know who he is or about him

Midlife...... 17 January 2011 10:25 AM

I was thinking about Wiley's I-phone 4...............can you post his username so I can give it a bodyswerve.

Cheers

Shaun

Ant 17 January 2011 12:31 PM

Sorry about you being conned. But didn't alarm bells ring when sone one was trying to sell you a £500+ phone for £350?

Midlife...... 17 January 2011 01:06 PM

antc

Here's Wiley's iphone 4 for sale at £360..

https://www.scoobynet.com/private-fo...desire-hd.html

So £350 isn't so far fetched.........

Shaun

Ant 17 January 2011 01:08 PM

Yes that's a 16gb model and used.

The op got offered a new 32gb model for £350

rudi93 17 January 2011 03:59 PM

wiley had a 32gb for sale also that went for 415 delivered,https://www.scoobynet.com/private-fo...ice-price.html

so me paying 380 delivered didnt seem like a steal or a con.
i would rather wait a couple days to see if i get replies to my emails/pms before i name.

TurboAndy 17 January 2011 04:11 PM

I havent posted on anyones threads who is selling and iphone 4. from what I can gather we have all received a PM from the same person.

PaulC72 17 January 2011 07:15 PM

they don't do Wii's too do they.....

classicgc8 17 January 2011 10:12 PM

wii

probably if you wanna send him money he will sell you the queen jewels i suspect :mad:

rudi93 19 January 2011 03:45 PM

Right i aint heard from him so his user name is danssti, if this guy has offered you a iphone 4 32gb via pm STAY AWAY. i have got the police involved and given them his name address and date of birth.

classicgc8 19 January 2011 03:46 PM

conman
 
the bloke aint logged in since the 13th jan,i wonder why,:Suspiciou:pchit:

Midlife...... 19 January 2011 05:07 PM

danssti ?

That username is familiar so I guess he posts on here regularly..... I wonder if someone has used his account as it seems a pretty silly thing to do if you are well known ?

Not defending anyone, but it just seems stupid to use your own details for a scam....

Shaun

MDS_WRX 19 January 2011 06:31 PM

It does seem odd, his history on here doesn't look like that of a scammer. Could he just have gone on holiday/be unavailable for a few days?

rudi93 19 January 2011 06:34 PM

i thought that also which is why i did the deal. but he said he would post it friday and supply tracking number and he has dissappeared :confused:
in all his email and pm's he seams a genuine guy but it would appear not.:confused::mad::mad:

it's only wednesday he could of had a family pass or he's injured himself. If something important has come up he's not going to "**** better pm that lad on SN and let him know"

again thought of that aswell, but this has been going on since 26th dec.:confused:

Jamo 19 January 2011 06:53 PM

it does look like from his previous posts he was looking to buy an iphone4 last year, so may have one to sell?

what has plod had to say about it?

I noticed his account isnt tagged as being under suspicion?
