Angry Advice needed about stealing. my money/T34 Turbo

basically on the 12 january i bought a turbo from a guy called chink in the for sale section,on this site. he was selling a T34.63 for his mate. he cashed my cheque and it cleared on the 16th of january. and it is now the 25th of february and he still hasnt sent it (40 days later) ive hassled him nearly everday for the past 5 weeks texting him and phoning him and he wont reply. what would you guys do??? this is stealing in my eyes. any advice would be gratefull.

it looks like youve been bumped so there is 2 options really. take matters into your own hands or let him get away with it.

Cant say i recognise the user name.

is he still an active user on this forum?

maybe PM him, set a deadline for it to be recieved by yourself and/or a a chance for him to respond with a decent answer.

if you dont have a decent response by the time you have asked in the PM, then pop his number up on this forum!!

small claims court, you can also add your expenses on top. so long as he cashed the cheque in his account, he really can't get away with it, although he can decide what court it is heard at, how far away does he live?

Sounds like a civil dispute to me at this time. Go to the citizens advice bureau and they will be able to advise you on ways of civil remedy. Not enough evidence at this time to suggest that any crime has taken place..he might just be lousy at sending stuff out and not very good on customer service side of things.

chink, the guy who has the account on here is'nt the problem its his mate pete, chink has actually been very helpfull but he's going to end up getting a bad name because of his mate. i had to send a cheque because apparently he dose'nt use paypal. he lives in wakefield and i live in a tiny village called hartland in north devon. so its quite a long way from me. dont know what to do apart from hassle him and wait.

He's relying on the fact you are miles and miles away.

Turn up on the cnuts doorstep unannounced with a few of your mates and politely ask for your money back.

^^^^^^^^ Gets my vote everytime. Youve got his address, get a few mates in the car and go for a daytrip. Even if it isnt him, im willing to bet he'll put you in touch with the right guy after a bit of gentle persuasion...

Exclamation Stealing money and more

There is a chap called Umberto Favero as well , he sells cosworth parts , but at one monent he lives in kirkwall , the next moment he lives on the isle of man , he want you to pay a deposit , after the deposit he will send the goods to you , when you are happy with the goods the buyer has to pay the rest of the amount , so watch out for this person.

http://www.harley-davidson-hangout.c...cam-alert.html

http://anotherfordforum.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=2051

Same for a person called Bartul Marcel , he tries to sell a lhd cossie 4x4. , lives in london W1S 1LD


Watch out for these people
