bunnyhare123 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 AS YOU SEE LADS HES MAKING NO RESPONSE TO COMMENT ON THIS MATTER "CRAZYMACKEM" WHEREEVER YOU ARE GET IN TOUCH. TELL US ALL WHY YOUVE DONE THIS. Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,322 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Simple solution; only buy things face to face ! No goods = No money ! Why buy DVD's off here, when you get them from any show, probably cheaper ! Cheers. Quote Link to post
bunnyhare123 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 IF THATS THE CASE ITS SPOILING IT FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE AS ITS OPEN TO PEOPLE ALL OVER UK HELPING PEOPLE BUY AND SELL OVER LONG DISTANCE AND EVENTUALLY PEOPLE WONT BE ABLE TO DO THIS DUE TO SCUM RIPPING PEOPLE OFF. GENUINE PEOPLE TRYING TO SELL GEAR WILL BE EFFECTED Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,322 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 There ARE genuine people selling things on here, I've had stuff myself, but if you send money to a complete stranger, be prepared to be disapointed ! The Mods can do nothing; banning the scum makes no difference, as they just join again with another name. Cheers. Quote Link to post
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hang on ............. Just looked through that members topics: http://www.thehuntin...arch_filter_app[forums]=1 There's no ad that is selling DVD's. So, let's have a guess ........... did you buy some copied DVD's that everyone knows he sold but that quite rightly he wasn't allowed to advertise. If you've been ripped because you came to a private arrangement that you made, not one where you responded to an actual ad on here then whose fault is that??? Quote Link to post
bunnyhare123 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 HANG ON............... THOSE DVDS WERE ADVERTISED ON HERE, THEN AFTER ID PAID WERE REMOVED. AT TIME OF PURCHASE THEY WERE ON HERE. NOW IT DIDNT SAY IF THEY WERE ORIGIONAL OR COPIES. EVERYONE ON HERE IS A STRANGER ALOT OF PEOPLE ON HERE WHO ARE GENUINE AND WE DONT KNOW. YES YOU YOURSELF ARE GENUINE BUT SOMEONE HAD TO PLACE THERE FIRST ORDER WITH YOU AS A STRANGER BEFORE THEY COULD TRUST YOU? Quote Link to post

No mate, you're wrong there, I'd met quite a few of the lads who were on here 5 years ago a long time before I ever started posting gear. It's the old thing, if something sounds too good to be true then it probably is. Apart from my lifetime lasting collars for the price of 2 packets of fags that is ......... I'm sorry you got ripped, but it's not any of the moderators jobs to do anything about it, they are after all just (mostly) normal people with no special superpowers. Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,322 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Mate, it's WRONG that you've been cheated, and it's RIGHT that you warn the rest of us about this guy, but you shouldn't blame the site or the mods, they can't stop it. Remember the saying, "caveat emptor" ! Hope you get it sorted. Cheers. Quote Link to post
micheal 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 DONT KNOW BUT SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING AS HEARD LOTS OF PEOPLE BEING SCAMMED ON HERE. AND ITS SPOILING IT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE GENUINE THINGS FOR SALE . DO YOU NOT THINK? its hard to do anything,i got took for £35 on here as well but hes now gone on to be someone else and do it again Quote Link to post
bunnyhare123 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 i think you lads are getting carried away not blaming the site or mods just making you all aware of what happens and how some people a trading and to be aware,thats all Quote Link to post
wexford Pa 84 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Lads i got dvd's off this guy a few months ago n everythin went ok and if ur buyin copies off this guy i cant see that he's gainin a whole lot by cheatin you out of a few quid (basicaly the price of a few blank dvd's and a stamp) but if ur post is honest and you'v been conned out of a few quid im sorry for ur loss pal and yes there should be changes to the for sale section as some people only use the site for its purposes and doesnt contribute much to the site otherwise..

Rubyred666 8 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 If these people keep closing accounts and changing user names one of the only ways to try not to get ripped off is to let everyone know who these people are by publishing the name and address were you sent the money to. A word of warning “You have to be certain and be able to prove that these people are scammers BEFORE publishing detailsâ€! We will then all know who to avoid. Quote Link to post
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Mods get your finger out and do something to prevent this occuring!!!!! What can they do apart from banning the sale of anything on here? One thing that could be done is to have another member voouch for another member selling items, could help. Quote Link to post
Guest jt750 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Mods are here to moderate the forum not to hold your hand or be responsible for your actions unless they contravene the terms and conditions I think you'll find that the selling section is a public forum and therefore comes under the responsibility of the admin/moderation. Are you saying f**k it and just get on with it? It's that NIMBY, sit on your arse and say nothing attitude attitude that gets nothing done and lets all good things go down the pan. I'm not saying f**k it and get on with it ..why make a third party responsible for your actions ..no its not a public forum its a members forum ..if the guy used paypal he has a name and address linked to the guy that robbed him ..sort it out that way ...what he's done is fraud ..you have rights ..its also your own choice as to whether you buy off a stranger or not and if it goes pear shaped then its tough titty or would you prefer that ian and the mods put their hands in their pockets and refunded him Quote Link to post
