Guest the conned stu Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 hello this is the thick twat who lost £3,000 out of stupidity since the topic is now closed because it was "rubbish" im am posting to tell those who think this is all a joke that it is all quite true i was able to look round the counter at the police station and see the words, ***** , ***** , and the name ***** from here i set about the solihul phone book and found the rest of the address and phone number, i drove the best part of 50 miles to speak to the registered owner unfortunately the only person home was gregs mum who i explained everything to. this is now a police matter, not that anything will be done as i would have more luck resolving this myself the police do not see this as a criminal offence or fraud which i thinl is disgusting. the ebay listing has been removed and the seller is no longer registered i would go in to more specific detail but i think the only people who should be privey to that are me and greg this can be deleted if not appropriate thankyou Edited by mawby to remove personal details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 i feel really sorry for this guy,, this sometimes deters buyers from us due to knowing reports and some people get put off if they have never heard of you before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Nightmare. We live and learn, sometimes the very hard way. I truly hope you have some kind of resolution to this, although sadly I think the chances are slim with it being another country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Not being funny but the I sold my MR2 to a guy in northern Island he bought it through ebay and hadn't even seen the car just 5 pics or so. 3 days after the auction a truck turned up and put it on the back paid me the £1600 for the car and off it went.

martin_a Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 i bought a car off ebay without seeing it and it's fine. come to that i bought Mertoc off lewis without seeing her although i did a lot of checks on the car first, got in touch with Pete the previous owner etc. Its how eBay operates, that bit isn't daft. Buying a cheap car from abroad is but there you go. Police want a kick too, not right they don't pull eBay's records on this guy. m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Just to advise, the fake sller used a Youth Hostel address in Rome to register his ebay account and contact point. Not surprisingly he's gone now. Once again Stu my deepest apologies mate and like I said, if I ever sell the beauty which I may do after all the hassle it's brought me so far, you get first refusal for a decent price too. May hurt more pal, but if you ever fancy a spin in her mate then give me a shout and i'll come see you. Cheers and I'll be in contact once i've had an update from my end on police matters.
