List of scammers or alerts

[Troubledshooter]

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.

fell sorry if you like guys, but I wouldnt want this to happen to any one else, has its far from funney, its in the hands of the police, but if mods are ok I am happy to post the details iIhave on this guy so at least this one is taken out of circulation I have no doubt He will be scamming someone else on another forum or through the free adds which allso seems to be one of his favoured methods.

Unfortunately there are too may people out there now scamming and getting away with it.
I lost about the same through an paypal scammer, and although the police took a statement, they didn't really want to know.

yes, its only know I have been able to make a statement was told to contact the scammers area force, who were about has unintrested has someone could be 2 attempts to make statement to my own local force with no luck and now this morning able to give a statement has an officer actually took an intrest and enabled me to make a statement Dose not seem to be any reall great incentive has most of my local stations are closed or only open on limited hours due to austerity cuts. I am not going to get political but have to say up until this morning the service ( or lack of it ) has been appaling
, unitrested public servants, no real system of rapid reporting, leflets in Welsh-only,( I donrt speak welsh), banks who are without intrest etc. This is in no way a crticism of this excellent forum, this is the only deal I have done here that has not worked, but when it is sorted to my satisfaction , I will with mods approval give you his name, and all details.

I guess for them, they need to send someone out, spend time gathering evidence, actually do something, then sit at a desk for hours writing it up, you can understand why they prefer to much doughnuts and drink coffee

I had all the evidence with me on 3 occasions has a former civil servant myself of some 20 years I couldnt say I was impressed, but hey no real criticism of the boys and girls in blue , for the most part they do a great job and have my respect for doing a real tough job

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?

Yup, that's the way to do it. Relate demonstrable facts rather than say "So and so is a rip off artist, con man and sheep botherer" because not only is the poster opening themselves up to legal action, but so so in the Forum owner.
