Author Ripped Off!!!
bearing

2003-05-22, 4:35 am

I believe myself and a few others on a Land Rover forum I use have been well and truly ripped off. I sent a cheque off too a guy for £23.00 for a 'Sandblaster', I should have noticed the lack of posts but other mambers who had been on the forum longer than I had ordered so I guessed they knew him.

Well the cheque cleared over a month ago and guess what, NO F**KI*G SANBLASTER despite many PM's asking where it is...

So what avenues can I use, I haven't got an e-mail off him, but do have an address which is allegedly his and also a website. But I'm wondering whether these are his at all..

His e-mail address is - landynut@phoneme.fsnet.co.uk

And his supposed site is - http://mysite.freeserve.com/Landynut


Anybody any ideas how to get hold of this Robbing B*stard?

Should have paid by credit card.

Send him a pair of you smelly socks, and threaten to send a pair each week until he stumps up said sandblaster.

Post his address - one of his must live near him!!!
Do you have his name as well??? You could always check it with directory enquiries.

Checked with Directory enquiries but no joy he's either ex-directory or the address is just used for mailing...

Sign him up for every piece of junk mail (paper & electronic) you can and pester him to insanity with unwanted goods & services. Make sure every telemarketing company you can find has his phone number. Better still get everyone at EN to help!

Skip hire
Pizza delivery
Escorts (male & female)
Prosthetic limbs
Liposuction
Stairlifts
Incontinence remedies
Plastic surgery
Every type of financial service imaginable

The list is endless...

The problem is, the address he gives has no phone number connected to it. But I do have a mobile number which constantly switches to voice mail, so maybe I can sign that up to some junk.(anybody know of any text message adverts I could sign him up to, so he's innundated with them)


Talking of Stairlifts, now that dear old Dame Thora Hird has passed on, do you think the Daleks should take over advertising those stairlifts Thora used to advertise?

Find out if he's married then, if so, fabricate evidence of an affair.

Bearing's like that, Just because I almost did him out of his change (€2.00) in Dublin, he almost threw me in the Liffy

well, the site's still there ....
report him to freeserve and the email forwards somewhere ......
so collect all your info and emails with full headers and go see your local police
fraud is fraud.
and everything is traceable.
the email is forwarded somewhere and somewhere somebody is checking that mail which can be traced back to an isp somewhere .....

hmmmm ... your're actually better off doing buisness with someone on ebay then someone cheesy enough to only use a free website for his warez (pun intended)

Are you self employed?

If not then you'll not be aware that any money is precious, you never know whats over the horizon. Work at the moment is quite slack for me, so £23 might not be much to you but to me it can sometimes be the difference between paying bills or not..

And at the end of the day, it's the principle that's in question here. Why should scum be allowed to get away with ripping people off, whether it's for £1 or £1 million...
