Fraudulent activity by a buyer/WARNING TO ALL MEMBERS

Right guys,
An update to this, as I have personally been to the address in question, to which, the police were called (quite funny actually, they asked me to stay while they called the police, no problem I had pre-informed them I was making the visit). Anyways, after explaining the situation, showing him the posts where he said his dad signed for it to the officer, he basically agreed with me on the issue, however, at this moment in time it is nothing they can assist with.
Unfortunately, I never got to see Jamie in person as he was cowering inside, even with the police there he didnt have the balls to show his face. (No problem Jamie, wanna play paintball, you'll have to come out of your house eventually)
He also requested that I inform people, that if you are in the area, please do not make a call in, as there is nothing that can be done outside of court now, so the next person turning up might get into trouble.
Anyways, as of now, this starts to get very bad for Jamie and his family, and in short order, by the time court + fees on top are added, this £350 trade is now going to cost him and his mom over a grand (and probably closer to 2k). So Jamie, if you want to get this resolved before this happens, I suggest you get in touch with the seller or myself to get that money paid quickly.
In addition to that, police reports and fraud reports have been made, so he may also end up with a criminal record aswell.
So guys, you all know what he looks like, and you know the name, keep an eye out on the feilds, and (asusming he isnt banned from the site in question, oh yea, Jamie, did I mention we'll be in touch with all your local feilds to make sure you won't be playing at any of them anytime soon?) give him some extra P8ntballer love.
Anyways, now the real fun can begin

was hoping for a bit of a resolution then, so the Saga continues, however it can only end up in favour of the cheated and not the kid and his folks
I think I speak for everyone genuine on this site that applauds the time you guys have spent on this and the amount of chances you have given this individual before it reached this stage. It certainly gives me confidence and makes me feel secure buying and selling on this site.
Cheers.

Good work guys and keep up the good work, and to our close knit paintball community, lets stick together.
The Staff on this Forum are so committed, just another reason this forum is so popular - Keep it up guys!
Much Love
Much Love
I must commend the mods that have put time into this. I would have given up after the first ban and simply reported the kid to the police and let them deal with it, and who knows how long that would have taken at that stage. Through your persistence it seems like this may finally be coming to an end in the near(ish) future. Good job once again.

Jesus, well props to the staff - can't say I've seen this much commitment to something in a long while and it deserves to be applauded. Now, all we have to do is sit and wait for the right outcome to come about. Hopefully this kid will realise now that it's serious and stop it before it can escalate any further.
Hahaha - This is the first and last thing i read when i get into/leave my office! I've not been disappointed yet xD!
It's a bit daunting though as i know i'm going to get that horrible sinking feeling at the end of this saga like i do when i finish the last episode of the Walking dead or Game of Thrones ;(
