List of scammers or alerts

[FattMann]

Ok tecently I was scammed out of £400 on a deal on here yes me, so it could allso happen to you. I wont go in to any more details at this time has its in the hands of the Police. We have a list of praise for good deals, so do we need one for bad dealls. Now I know the scammer will undoubtably move on , change contact details etc but at least it would distrupt there activities. May I add that this is the first and only time I have encounterd any problems with the people here has all of my previous dealls have been totally without any problems. If I have spoken out of term then please dont hesitate to delate Mods.

sorry to hear of your bad luck ;its a wake up call for people like myself who almost take it for granted all deals on here will have a happy ending.
im hoping you weren't dealing with any long standing "mem" which is my first criteria unless they are paying me in the first instance.
there's been some well publicised dodgey dealings on other sights which has put them to temporary flight but unfortunately the "hyenas"
that scavenge off honest folk have a low cunning that enables them to camouflage their ID ;but track record goes a long way in this situation.
hope you have some kind of come back on this other than knowing the "hyenas" are in the minority.

A Name and Shame list - sounds a good idea?

Well it isn't going to be a good warning without a list of names of scammers! Yes, everyone needs to act with care, but if there are known scammers, we should be alerted to them.

Unless someone has actually been convicted of an offence, or proven beyond doubt to be a scammer on numerous occasions, such as a well known family of scam artists, tempting as it may be, naming them on the BBS could be fraught with legal difficulties, so it's probably best to restrict naming scammers to private communications, as some of them are very litigious and you could end up loosing even more of your hard earned dosh.

So, this will end up as a thread of "I've been scammed, feel sorry for me" threads. Useless in the real world.

Its a simple case of wording things correctly, brandishing someone a scammer if he or she is not could be as you say do more harm than good, by using the correct words can do no harm for instance.

I bought a ----------- from --------- sent him/her £400 for an item that wasn't as described/did not arrive, the person in question is no longer communicating with me as such I am a little concerned about this whole transaction so I am getting legal advice on the matter. Has anyone had similar dealings with the said individual?

Your PM inbox has been full for the past 24 hours and so wont accept any more messages, might be a good idea to clear it in case the individual you refer to wants to make contact.

Agreed the community need to know if there is a scammer amongst us. A good result would be a favourable one though.
