:( people like that suck a55

Doesn't mean much as i know OccyOccyOccy that used to be on here went to meets, sold a few things, etc, then he started doing a runner with peoples money. Police informed, etc but never went anywhere and was told to take him to small claims court.

 

This is effectively what is going to happen again

 

I called Fraud dept today and got through and although i gave all this guy's details, address, mobile, his girlfriends email blah blah the end result is it goes to a police file and gets looped around for a few months.

I doubt the police will treat it as their priority and i was told forget expecting any money back if it was a bank transfer or cash into the feckwit's account

 

It will be small claims court to chase him for money owed and likely to cost me way more in time and effort than what I paid him.

 

I have a case number for what it is worth

 

I can really understand why folks take this into their own hands coz right now that is how i am feeling

 

All we can do is annoy him and disgrace him (if he even cares) by posting on global FB walls, sending msg's to his mate's and contacts and making sure everyone knows who he is and hope it stops him fecking over anyone else.

Unfortunately on the street where he lives, his mates will see this as a good thing. I knocked on his door on the way home from work but nobody was there. Will try again tomorrow.

Occyoccyoccy's real name was Simon Hartshorn, so i hope this scammer isn't the same guy. He lived in Walsall, so not a million miles away from Bromsgrove.

Maybe different guy as think the name is Scott Butler.

Tried selling me a few things but never came through with them as I wanted to pick up in person and pay cash. Hope this gets resolved.
