Although if you ask him for his address after all this publicity, he'd probably try to arrange to meet you somewhere else!

I think people need to be Carefull on how they are going about this, it seems to be getting out of hand very quickley,I would suggest pm Scooby Spain with confidential info etc.
As some posts are coming across as threats and that's when the law could get involved.
Plan anything behind closed doors, not on a bloody public forum ffs.

I don't think anyone is making plans, it's just the community coming together to protect it's self by informing others of a potential scammer in our midst, i don't think anyone has broken the law.

Nothing wrong with sharing information, thats what forums are for.

This^^^

Just trying to help the fella, it's obvious to me what's gone on here, the guys a scammer plain and simple and needs to sort it out.

It could have been any one of us left in this situation, if it were me, I wouldn't have even been posting about it, it would have just been dealt with in any way I saw fit at the time.

I'm fairly local to this scammer, and just trying to dig enough pics/info to suss his address, and pass it on

It's upto the op how he uses the info

Just thinking it needed pointing out before it does, as it will give the scammer ammunition with his so called police friends

And I fully agree to what everyone's is doing as it boils my **** too what andy has done.

Just don't want this thread being nuked due to snet policy, although name & shame is not allowed either, but probably only if it's AA status.

I just want to add one thing... IF the guy in spain was trying to scam someone for sending the wrong springs do you not think he would do it to someone is SPAIN?

I totally belive the spanish guy and ANDY needs to man up and refund the money. Infact he shouldn't even expect the rubbish shocks back as they look knackered. Tried to compaire the 2 pictures and they look like the same shocks...

Not your usual scammer activity. Always ask as goods payments on PayPal for buyer and for my own protection.

The coilovers in question were part of a car which i bought from a scoobynet member as a donor car for my wrx.

I'm an enthusiast, trawl this forum for hours on certain days, other days literally just go to my breaking ad or send a quick pm. I genuinely didn't know this thread was here until today.

And as for the guys hunting for me, I will more than likely be at most local meets in the near future.

I look forward to your replies

Andy
So from his opening post he seems quite active at meets and someone gave him the heads up to this thread. He also bought the coilovers from someone on here so someone must know his address?

Looking at Andy's "for sale" thread, it looks like the struts probably came off "GJ53 UAB" that he bought.... Anyone know the car, might be possible to get some info on the state of them off the previous owner?

I think the most damning thing for me is that email trail that Spain posted. If a buyer tried to scam me by saying that something I'd flogged them was ****e due to a long list of made-up faults, I'd tell them it didn't have those faults when I sold them. I wouldn't say "Well, I never said they were mint"

Clearly another scammer!

People like you ruin the trust aspect for all genuine sellers and buyers in what is supposed to be a reliable source of all things Scooby related. Most People have to work hard for there money nowadays and are lucky if they can afford to spare any to spend on their pride and joy just for someone like you to scam them out of it. I hope one day karma repays you in fine style.

Hello,first of all thanks to everyone on the forum and for the support that you have all offered me, I really am very grateful to you. After calling PayPal several times and waiting for their call that "I have never received", I called them this morning they don't want to resolve the problem since they always use the excuse that "this case is with the other person and now isn’t available", I think that they no longer want to know anything else about this matter.

About the user Andyj775, I want to say that up until today you haven’t been in touch with me and I see that you don't want to find a solution to this problem, so I will have to make a complaint against you for online fraud offences with the Spanish Police Group (Grupo de delitos Telemáticos de la Policía Española),I hope that if you, as a user of this forum Andyj775, view this statement or any acquaintance of yours, I would ask you to please contact me by private message throughout either today or tomorrow to try to solve this problem and not to take it further, otherwise if I don’t receive a reply on your part in order to solve this problem, I will be report it on Wednesday 19th December 2012.
