Default Ripped off on ebay : Help needed

Can anyone on here help me in anyway.

As title I have been ripped off by a bloke called "A. Patel" who allegedly lives in Northampton. I have the address to which I sent the money but dont want to openly post here.

I also have a telephone no. but this does not exist.

Does anyone have access to electoral register or some other way of tracking this dude down.

Failing that - anyone live in Northampton who would drive past this address and let me know what is there - shop/house/derilict ruin!! etc

Any help appreciated as struggling to get anywhere thru ebay

Steve.

It was just over a hundred quid and paid by personal cheque hence the address.

It would appear from his feedback on ebay i'm not the only person he's ripped off.

its probably been cashed. can you not report it to the pigs and get them to find out the details of the person who cashed it? assuming your bank wont just tell you that is?
