The thing is, your not the first and you wont be the last that has been scammed (un-less there is a good reason (but seems to be scammed)). At least you didn't pay by Paypal gift

Looking at his profile and email address, he lives in Essex and has something to do with Kings K9 Security (based in Essex), which could suggest it's his job/company. Simple search online: http://www.professionalsecurity.co.u...urity-limited/

He could be on holiday or something? Anyway, worth a shot though?

Hope that helps.

I don't think this is a scam, i'd say he's had some sort of problem as he doesn't come across as a scammer type from his posts on here.

Hang fire guys, I'm sure he'll be on to explain himself in due course.

you could be right he has come across some sort of problem such as not sending items which he has received payment for.... just a quick message or email to let people know what is happening wouldn't take a few minutes but to just leave it makes it all look dodgy...

what does a scammer come over like as surely if they came over as a scammer they wouldn't be one as nobody would ever get caught !!!!

I know it's difficult when your the one seemingly out of pocket, but this guy has been around a while, done loads of threads and is known to other members etc, I like to think i'm a reasonable judge of character and based on this guys time on here i'd say he has a personal problem of some sort.

I suggest you start a thread with his user name as the title and go from there, it may result in someone who has other contact details for him getting in touch, not everyone lives their lives on the internet on a daily or even weekly basis.

No seemingly about it, they've paid for stuff and don't have it.

That doesn't mean a thing, unfortunately.

Hopefully for the folk that are out of pocket at the moment, that it is just an error that the seller is on holiday or something though.

He must be a busy chap, i have dealt with him before and things went well but when i did research on him beforehand id read mixed comments, he assured me my turbo would be with me by the tuesday and it was.

His mobile number is on one of his for sale threads by the way

I agree, if a person has the time to make a for sale thread and take peoples money then the least they can do is send the parts out, full stop.

The point i'm making is sometimes life gets in the way, I don't know why he's not sent the parts as it's not something I would do, as everyone has said the least one could do if you don't have time to get to the post office is a quick message to explain the situation and offer a refund, which is what I would do if I had a problem, but he is incommunicado so no one knows where they stand unfortunately.

I still think something has happened to him and it's not some sort of scam hence the hang fire comment, difficult situation and i'd be p1ssed too, those involved are just going to have to play the waiting game a while longer until he shows himself and explains but I still don't think he's a scammer.

I didn't buy a dog but I've got his details from a few years ago so I've pm'd the original poster. I don't think he's a scammer and there's a reason but the details I have may help.
