CarraghsGem 92 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Best way is to send crossed postal order or check.Anyone can cash a postal order thats not crossed Carraghs gem so id be worrying if its not crossed.You dont need to do anything but provide some id to cash it.I really hate reading this ive bought and sold things on here no problems at all with very decent people.Its a shame to think people will do this but some people cant help themselves.If you have the reciept of the postal order then get post office to check referance number on it gem and they can tell you if its cashed or not has his name on it, seemed a genuine lad, not worrying just yet as my post is often late due to having a postman that doesnt seem to bother working every day. im starting to suspect he just comes out here to the sticks couple of times a week. im hoping he was genuine anyway. this time next week i could be of a different opinion but i hope not.

david brightmore 13 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 CANT BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE COULD DO THIS TO A YOUNG LAD IF YOU DONT GET SORTED OUT MATE YOU SHOULD GET HIS BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS AND GO ON THE NET AND PUT THEM IN TO ANYTHING YOU CAN FIND THAT CHARGES YOU FOR THERE SERVICES I.E CREDIT CHECKS PAYDAY LOANS ANYTHING THEY WILL CHARGE THE BALLS OF HIM IF YOU WANT TO PM ME YOUR ADDRESS I WILL SEND YOU A NET MAKING KIT DVD SHOWS HOW TO MAKE ALL THE NETS YOU WILL NEED ROLL OF HEMP RINGS DRAW STRING AN NEEDLE ,STILL CANT GET OVER THIS DIRTY SCUM BAG ALL THE BEST MATE :thumbs: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Well what happend is I put a add on the ferreting wanted section and asked pepole to pm me what they had he pm me he had locater 3 collers 40 nets and 2 gate nets I paid him from my bank into his 4 days later I recived a ferret box with severn nets he did not mention a box I have pm him but no reply I don't no his address just his name and bank details Calum, This is simple now. The bank will not give you his details and even if they did what could you do with them. But, they will give them to the Police, I don't care what anyone thinks, he's robbed you plain and simple, don't let this go cold, get yourself to the police station and insist they investigate it, I don't know how old you are and it might help taking a sensible adult with you. Don't let him rip you, accept no excuses, let the police sort it out, if he promises your gear then let the police deliver it lol! It is fraud, he has stolen your hard earned money, do not sit back and think he'll sort it out. DO NOT pass his details on to anyone off here, no matter how well meaning they might be, the people paid to sort this out are the bank and the police. Let us know how you get on.

Let us know how you get on. good advice from SS you will prob have all the messages between you and him,let the police look at them,and if he has promised to send something which he hasnt,then it is fraud.dunno if they will try and fob you off with saying its a civil matter though,but hey start crying they old bill might feel sorry for you lol,as SS said dont let this drop mate and i hope this expierence aint put you off.were not all like him on here, or in the hunting community in general!

Cold Ethyl 63 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) Yes strong mate a crossed postal order has to go through a bank account or post office account.like any other cheque but if its uncrossed can be cashed straight away with id.Mate id take this to the police personally give them all you know and any messages of here or e mails etc.Even if you did magically get his details and then try to use them in anyway you could be tracked and charged with fraud take it to bank and the police mate bank wont want much to do with it so push it and they can get their fraud specialist into it they all have a specialised dept for that sort of thing.
