Bought a t5 gearbox off him over 2 years ago for £600, have paid £350 and had nothing but excuses for 2 years saying it's getting checked over, he doesn't come on here anymore so have been Facebook messaging him but he's now ignoring my messages. Got a feeling he's sold it to someone else. Anyone know him or got any contact details? Not good when things like this happen!

Thats not good mate.

Can somebody who is close to Ronnie please have a word and get in contact to resolve this.

Thanks mate it's not good and I can't rest until I get my money back or the box, I wouldn't mess anyone around if I was in this position selling something and wouldn't expect it back, his address would be good I can go knock his door then I need to sort this!

The amount of utter scum in the car scene these days is amazing.

Hopefully you will get a dribbling excuse and your money back - good luck

I'd be tempted to get the police involved, or at least take Civil Court action

I'm sure the thief wouldn't like a CCJ against his name

Just made him aware of this and he has asked if you could message him on Facebook

You no nothing of the situation so probably best not to speculate mate.

These are the facts I'm aware of from the OP

- Bought a t5 gearbox off him over 2 years ago for £600

- have paid £350 and had nothing but excuses for 2 years saying it's getting checked over

- have been Facebook messaging him but he's now ignoring my messages

You have then helpfully made him look even worse by then saying:

- he has asked if you could message him on Facebook

Oh right, the same facebook he's been totally ignoring him on for the past couple of years

What an utter thundercunt he sounds like. Well at least it seems I'm right, as soon as he gets outed in public the dribbling excuse comes out

Have messaged him on Facebook but had no reply.

Have got his number now so hopefully can sort it out.

He told me he has received 0 messages and I no him well enough to trust his word, as do lots of others on hear, I have passed on his phone number to the OP and this will get resolved, so be a good guy and step away from the keyboard xxx

I don't have Facebook but I'm told Facebook sends some messages to another folder that you have to find yourself? I heard of someone where their family had messaged them to say a distant relative had died and they found the message a year later

gjh

Yes facebook does that, had messages on there for years that I never knew existed.

Fullflush

So this idiot just had £350 off this poor lad then never though to do anything about it?

A honest person would make contact to the sender of the money, even if the hardly believable story you are trying to spin is correct.

Each time you post you just make the guy look worse. Not that he needs your help

To be frank you are boring me now and I'm not going to rise to it.. I know loads of people on hear who can vouch for my word and tbh I'm sure no one cares what you think..

From what I remember If you contact someone on facebook who is not on your friends list/ you are not on theirs, then the messages go to another inbox from what I recall and facebook don't send you any notifications to make you aware of this.

I think it is to stop people being hassled by stalkers etc

Hope it gets resolved quickly Lee, both you guys were regulars on here for a long time.

Have managed to get his number now with help from people on here and have sent a text, no reply yet but we will see. I'm not friends with him on Facebook but he received the message and didn't reply, he has received and replied a few times in the past. Hopefully we can sort it out.

Hopefully you get your money back

True, i put an advert selling a car on there, got an inox message of some one else )friend) and noticed in the top of the inbox was a tab with 3 unread messages that i had to accept, but i didn't know i even had them.

iTrader: (4)

He doesn't use it much at work mate, but iv just gave him a nudge..

lee2cossies

iTrader: (2)

Thanks, I had a reply he says he's going to refund the money so wait and see now, thanks for helping out hopefully can get this sorted.

I know Ronnie very well and he's not the type of guy to scam people so i'm sure he will resolve this

lee2cossies

iTrader: (2)

He's going to refund the money middle of next week so fingers crossed this will be sorted.

Fullflush

Really hope this gets sorted

Very worrying he's not just paid you back though, particularly given how snake like he's been to get in touch with

Adam-M

Did he offer an explanation?

lee2cossies

iTrader: (2)

He did offer an explaination but im tired of waiting would have prefered the box but will settle for the money back now.

lee2cossies

iTrader: (2)

Me too hope it gets sorted, i agree hits a bit worrying but thought its fair to give him a bit of time to refund me, we will see!

Fullflush

So did he pay you in the end??

Fullflush

I guess not???

costina
