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.

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...

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 !!

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 i can pm the number if they want. i like googled it up and it's some stuff in qld.

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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
