Hi, Here's a story about how i was scammed out of my hard earned money by some devious criminal. After buying and selling many mobile phones on ebay, it was becoming like a business, so i was looking to use my profits to expand.. anyways, i saw a lot "Sony-Ericsson P900i Brand New Job Lot" I took a look, all seemed good. even positive feedback. Contacted the seller, even spoke to him on the phone.. arranged to put a special lot on ebay for me to purchase.. which i did "3x Sony-Ericsson P990i" BIN 300. Payed via Bank Transfer to his account. All good, said he would check his account and dispatch, and that's where the fun and games began...
I phoned him and he said he wanted proof that the money had gone from my account.. so i scanned a statement (less all my bank details except my name and the line containing the relevant transaction). He recieved it and said ok, will post tomorrow Royal Mail Special Delivery.. Next day.. nothing.. waited incase he meant the next day.. nothing still.. Emailed and rang to no avail. Starting to panic at this point i rang him again, this time he answered.. and assured me they would be posted that day and i would recieve them tomorrow. Still nothing the next day so i tried to phone him, but nothing. He had also became a non-registered ebay user. After another day of trying to contact him, i went to the police with copies off all mine and his messages, the item ID, uername, bank details, address
