Help, Advise Needed.

[JnJ]

Hey guys, bought a power fc and still haven't received it. It should've arrived sometime last week already as the seller mentioned he posted it as soon as i paid for it which was monday last week. I've been trying to contact him as well and doesn't seem to be picking up any of my calls I'm getting a bit worried as I've been scammed before. I went to the bank to kindly contact the person but they said it's not their responsibility to notify the person. If worsts comes to worst and still haven't received it this week, i've probably been scammed again. My question is, can i retract my money from the bank, I still have my receipt proving it was me who made the deposit.

-thanks.

Who did you buy it off?

No you cant retract the funds

[oweban]

That's why I try and use PayPal where possible, and get them to use Registered mail. (If they don't post it, can always claim within 42 days).

Where did you buy it off?

(Also, I advise that you use the word "advice" )

i thought was rather safe, went to the bank verified if it was the correct person, and the money is still in the bank just that the contact number is incorrect apparently. hahah yeah i used the term "advise" was thinking of the verb instead of the noun Lol was just too lazy to edit the title. I guess i would have to go to the cops so they can grab the details from the bank not sure if it's gonna be much use though...

i bought it off a guy from sau, he saw my advertisement for wtb, he sms'd me not pm'd so wouldn't know his username here or so.

That sucks man Hope things work out and this dude turns up. If not, we'll start a name-and-shame run.

(probably a bad time to mention i'm thinking of selling my adaptronic ecu )

If he SMS'd you, how is his phone number wrong?

that's how

Have you googled the number? I always start there, especially when money is involved with people I never dealt with before.

Ask the cops what to do as he has frauded you and you have his number and proof of money being deposited... they can look up who owns the number and look up who owns the bank account. It is only a few phone calls and minimal paper work to do that.

Otherwise pray that it comes (which it still might) maybe he is flying it in from overseas and just reselling it ect... a million legit and dogey reasons, but a couple of weeks isn't much time

Have you tried putting your mobile phone on the private function , so your number doesn't show up on his phone when you call him . Then he might answer his phone if he doesn't know it's you . Worth a try i think !!

[JnJ]

I've used many different phone numbers to contact him, and yes as well as private. When i went to the bank to verify the number i have to see if it matches the number registered on their system and the person serving me said that it was a totally different number. Went to the cops said they can't really call up the bank and request for the personal details whilst the bank told me otherwise, told me to go to the cops for them to request the personal details from the bank. I know it hasn't been that long but like if the seller called me to remind me and check up on me if i have deposited the funds on the day. After i've deposited it, I called him to confirm that i have deposited the funds into his account which he then said he'll post it in an hour. I called him the day after, had to call him few times for him to pick up then when he picked up I asked if he posted it he said yes.

So like if it was posted on monday, should've received it friday or early time this week. He hasn't been picking up any of my calls since. Just like my previous experience earlier this year as well, when i bought an iPhone said it was posted express. express doesn't take 2 weeks == never heard from the guy again after 2 days as well. fml. Lol

Didn't I tell you to google it, google catches nearly everyone out, now you have a place to search and entrap him. The number may come up as a business, usually found in the classifieds, it is the best when this happens and you then find the same guy trying to sell his car on carsales, go out to view the car and demand your money back or you'll beat him to a pulp, true story, google is great and bad at the same time.

It is getting harder for the scammers and crims to make a living these days with instant access to information.

[Galois]

That mofo has featured on these forums before, there's a thread somewhere on him, maybe in general automotive discussion...

Do everything you can to get him back mate, court, fb defaming etc. Douches like this make me sick
