Hi James

The whole thing has turned out to be a nightmare. The only way I can resolve this is to actually sue him in the small claims court. So that is what I'm going to do. He will then at least have to attend a court hearing up here near Inverness. I will get my money back and it will cost him that and the expense of getting up here.

When you send money to someone, there is an element of trust, just a pity there is some thieves around.... I just hope no one else falls for his con...

Sorry to hear of your problem, have you contacted the Police? Or threatened too?

Anyone can become a member of this forum, and I would say this is part of the reason why Killian is reluctant to have a classifieds forum...

Check this story out. Dodgy or what...

On the 24th May I phoned an advertiser off of this web forum, a guy called "AMAN". I sent him a cheque for an ECU which I explained was urgently required. He agreed to send me it when the cheque cleared. On the 4th June he said it was in the post. On the 9th he told me it was in the post and on the tuesday I found out the cheque had been cashed. On wednesday the 11th I told him to send me my money back as I couldn't wait any longer and he told me he doesn't do refunds. I had to buy the part elsewhere as my car was waiting in a garage for the part. On the 15th he told me the item was delayed in his postoffice due to a daylight robbery, did I want him to get it back and he would send me a credit note. I told him I wanted my money back and he is refusing to give it back to me. (3 1/2 weeks on)
