ferret1 6 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I had a guy phone me up about my advert on here for ferret kits. He said he deffinately wanted some and could i take them to him. I agreed to do this and went tonight to meet. I was waiting for hour and no one turned up, I was just about to leave and my fone rang it was the guy saying that he finished work late and would be 25 mins so said that i would wait for him. 10 mins past and his dad arrived on his bike saying that they had a problem that neither of em had been paid so did nt have the money for the ferrets. He then carried on to say that if i left the ferrets they would send the money to me in the post . I said that i was not going to leave the ferrets with out the money as i did nt know them, HE THEN CAME OUT WITH I HAVE £20 ON ME WHICH BUGGED ME AS HE SAID THAT HE DIDNT HAVE ANY MONEY NOT 10MINS BEFORE. i HAD TRAVELLED 25MILE TO TAKE THE FERRETS TO HIM SO I SAID I WOULD LEAVE THE FERRETS THERE FOR THE £20 LEAVING ME £10 SHORT. WHEN HE GOT YHE MONEY OUT HIS WALLET HE PULLED OUT 2 £20 NOTES I SAID THAT I HAD CHANGE. THE REPLY CAME THIS IS NT MY MONEY. I WAS P####D OF AT THIS POINT AND GOT BACK IN MY CAR AND WENT £10 DOWN. So i had a 50 mile round trip for naf all tonight, it wont happen again and some one genuine may miss out because of some one trying to have me over. The person got my number from this site so be aware if you live in the wiltshire area as you may get a phone call from this person asking you to goto them. They live in the westonbirt area dont go.

rosspti 2 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Feel real sorry for you there chap, but at least you're a bit wiser for it - and you may have saved someone else from the same shite by posting up your story. There are some really filthy people out there who will cut your throat for a quid. If he genuinely couldn't afford £30 for some ferrets until after getting paid, then how the hell is he gonna afford to keep them! But as you saw the cash on him, he is more likely to be scammer. Perhaps you could post a pic of the ferrets so others can keep a look out for them - just in case they're sold on, etc. It makes you feel mad as hell when something like this happens, but my advice would be to learn from it and put it behind you. Just remember that you are the better person, and above that sort of shite. That looser is a disgrace to ferreting, and to country sports, and no doubt shameless. Perhaps the offending gentleman might like to give his side of the story on here? Quote Link to post
the_hunter1983 2 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 name and shame him so other forum members dont get the same crap you did mate Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 you did more than I would have, I only ever sell if they collect, and depending who they are, depends weather they are let in a shown around, or sold on the doorstep but to right, name and shame Quote Link to post
