Scammed me out of mask,bottle and etek in this thread.
http://p8ntballer-forums.com/threads/kit-sale-etek3-am-1-1l-bottle-dye-i4-events-vlocity.157251/
Took advantage of the fact that his address was written as Bridge La and not Bridle La.
Said it wasn't delivered. the day it was delivered a contractor was working for TNT....hes suspended now due to this (seems he "doorstepped" it).
I believed him as TNT were not 100%
I hadn't been oh the forum for a while and when i did log on i seen his account was banned, asked Dusty who then linked me this thread.
What i couldn't believe when reading the thread is the new account he created...his avatar pictures him with the marker and wearing the mask he didn't receive!!!!!
He was refunded through paypal on Thursday (i am appealing the refund now).
Your going to struggle with appealing the refund as i was informed by paypal that it was actioned by you so cannot be reversed, all they did for me was email him advising that he repayed the money. i called 101 and got the police to put me through to the national fraud unit who have all of the information, i would do the same as seeing more than one report against the same person might encourage them to look into it deeper.
Do you have the serial number of the marker as there is no disputing it if you have. also gather up every correspondent and paypal page from the dispute and any postage info you have, i feel that if you inform the fraud unit we may both be sending in copies.
i will say he seems alot more compliant when you get the police involved :)

I didnt actually action anything, i just didnt reply to it as i thought TNT had lost it at the time.

The balls on this kid, how does he sleep at night? Pocoyo I'm sorry for your loss man, this is ridiculous. Hopefully you can get everything you had right back, most certainly get in contact with the Po Po, more than one case against the same person isn't a coincidence and they are sure to investigate further. It disgusts me that someone would do this **** to honest ballers...

What gets me is why Paypal havent picked up on it.So far he has said that he hasnt recieved 2 different items,and puts claims in.Surely if you put x amount of claims in within a certai time framw the penny would drop?

While I'm not condoning or expressing intent to go and turn this petulant little boy into a Christmas tree, it's a free country. I just don't think it should be expressed or implied on a national forum that you'd be prepared to do anything of the sort.

Who are the grown ups here guys ?

If, IF he ever manages to worm his way onto a field. I have no doubt that we will all pass on @Dusty's best wishes. Also indeed, those of the ballers he is attempting to rip-off. I'm wondering if a certain member from the midlands who had the same intentions a couple of years ago and earned himself a national ban because of his attitude and actions must be very proud of the fact that he seems to have spawned some kind of deviant mini-me...

I really hope this turdball ends up with a conviction for fraud just so it follows him around like a dark cloud for the rest of his worthless life.
Just try getting a well paid respectable job with a conviction for fraud...........who's laughing now ....:ROFLMAO:
