Warning to Buyers

[V8eta]

It looks like Ray Mullany has resurfaced and doing dodgy deals over the net again trading under the name Graeme Harper or harper trading etc. There are 2 threads on SDU about this

[ferni]

Well i'm screwed then - i sent him ~100USD for something, got his bank account details and paypal details tho..

sent it last thursday via paypal, guessing there is nothing i can do? dammit

[Guest INASNT]

I wired my money to him through bluetooth wireless

[ferni]

INASNT? what? your not serious?

[EVO83]

i have known about this guy for around 2 years didnt know he was back online. he came into work one time trying to put the sell on us but my boss had heard of him so we didnt realy talk to him. sound like a lot of ppl r after him.

Jeez INASNT, I really hope you are joking.

hehehhee ofcourse i am kidding!!!

is it even possible to transfer money throught bluetooth????

[ferni]

sure it is, bluetooth via internet connection.

[Guest INASNT]

I can only transfer $2500 a day remotly, so no chance of me paying 20g for an engine in 1 day!!!

It shouldnt be that hard to track down this tosser if he keep ripping off people

[ferni]

Tracking him down isn't the hard part - sounds like its been done, its getting the money back

[dairyboy]

You could call your bank and stop the payment for that Paypal transaction..

[ferni]

Well the paypal transaction i used my credit card, it got taken out about 9-10days ago... I wasn't sure if i could do that.. i guess i can try - has anyone done it before?

[tridentt150v]

You can stop just about any transaction if you do it in time..........ie quickly before the funds are transferred. Once they are transferred, forget it, you've done your $$$$$

9-10 days try, but I reckon it would be too late. Time to break out the crowbar and exact retribution.........

[ferni]

Yeah the funds are already authorized out of my account and gone, thats what i thought...

I've logged it with paypal... doubt i'll get my money back.. i'm happy it was only $100, could of been worse

[tridentt150v]

Best you can do is dob him in to paypal and however else he's dealing through, there is also an online internet crime report you can fill out, if the cops get enough of them about him, they might be forced to do something.

I haven't got the web address of the report, but maybe somebody else knows it, or if you can't find it, I could have a look.

[Abo Bob]

Also some credit cards (VISA I know) can refund you the money themselves. They then take it back off the entity that charged you forcing them to prove their claim.

Dunno how it would work with Paypal though.

damn i thought u were talking the piss like i was!!

what did u try buy off him?

[ferni]

nismo 3 gauge centre things for my 33GTR - i put a wtb ad up in the wtb section..

he replied via pm... i normally always do background checks on people but i got lazy this time since it was only $100..

he said he had one, and he wanted a standard one since he had standard 180km gtr speedo... said he would swap with cash adjustment... i agreed..

sent him the money via paypal (he gave me his paypal and bank account details), he said he got it and sent it off, that was last week, if i hadn't of read this thread i would still be expecting it to arrive... the deal was i get his then mail mine back...

my fault for not doing background check, i'm thankful it was only $100

i've reported it to ebay, will call my CC company today see if there is anything they can do.
