It doesn't look good agreed mate but,

1. Some just like to jump on a bandwagon as is always the case
2. We only know what's been posted on here.

As said I'm on the fence with this one and not taking sides as I've had good dealings with Luke and Shaid seems a good bloke too (without meeting him).

Shaid you have been scammed, for most people they would be mortified that they had been paid for an item and not been able to deliver on time, I would not be able to sleep thinking I came across as some kind of thief or scammer, this guy is a blagger and bull****ter and I will be amazed if you get your money back with out forcing the issue.

I know, however I know as a fact I will get my monies back. Just a matter of time, I've found out a lot more about the guy too, hence why I hope for his own benefit he plays ball and does the honoury thing.

Christ Shaid, didn't realise this was going on, I hope it gets sorted out with minimal fuss for you.

I must admit, Sonic's come across as a bit of a strange character to me... seems very boastful about the amount of money he has/how good his car is etc with no real proof to back the claims up.

I also found it weird that he appeared on the Legacy club too... hopefully not just to bait in someone like yourself. Perhaps it's worth posting this in there too just to warn that lot.

Tim, Legacy club were on it from day one. I sent a PM to mods and they got straight on it. Who knows though, maybe there is a genuine explanation for all this after all.

Yeah I am now only buying from people that have proven so far reliable.

Bought one set of 4 pots and they looked like a 100 year old boat anchor, after derusting, the pistons (6 of 8) refused to come out, so I just binned them.

Bought some later off Mattybr5 and they were damn near perfect.

Hope you get it sorted Shaid.

He's been on today at half 12. I think it's probably safe to say if there was something up in his private life he'd have come clean by now... but, for the sake of the fact that Admin are obviously looking into things i'll save calling him a 'scammer'.


Ooops.

He did mention earlier in this thread that all sales are
collection only. Has he not asked you to collect?

Dont you think that the scamming comes and goes around certain times of the year, around Xmas for example?
I am lucky that I have been scammed and if I was it would only be for small amounts, the most I have spent on here was £250 on a vf35 and the seller had good history.

I would speculate either he owes his bank money so can't use his account, or has previous convictions for fraud so is not allowed a bank account. I think you are all going to be out of luck. I suggest going round his house asap and not leaving untill you have your cash but there is a good chance that he does not have it, you cannot take what he doesn't have.

Well he does have a 400bhp, 2.1 strokered classic (with carbon clocks and standard suspension) we could all share amongst us.
