THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION

amazing to think that all of the people he so say insured and nobody didn't seem to bother that they had no documents which I find amazing as if they didn't arrive within a few days of you paying then after not being able to contact him surely alarm bells would start to ring....

was he selling his so say insurance so cheap to make people buy it then ??

this day and age there are scams popping up all of the time and people still get stung...

he will get away with it as these characters normally do because they are pros and will have no worry of who he has ripped off

I hope anyone on here gets sorted insurance wise but I don't think the points or fines will get dropped but who knows ..

 

Read post #1 and post #13 and you will have some answers.

 

What a ***! I got documents and like the other guy said, I was even dubious at the start but did loads of checks including checking the MID constantly. I also got that tradex letter yesterday but I'm even thinking that's fake too and I'm not sending them anything. I've got quite a bit of useful info to provide to the police

 

we had documents emailed to us in half an hour, then used them to tax the vehicle , just didnt check them properly as it does have john cope written all over it.
have police statements here awaiting collection.
we paid deposit by credit card so should be able to get the money back, but have now had to cancel card before he was due to take another payment tomorrow and possibly maxed out my card.

we were also told by police station to go here http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ and report it online

 

Me and a few of my friends also fell for this scam

Have reported to action fraud and currently trying to recover money back from the credit card company I also got a letter from tradex the other day

I am having problems trying to join the Facebook group.

 

has anyone else rang tradex?
i just did they have no records of this letter being sent out to anyone

 

Really?! So who's sending these out? :/

 

i emailed them a copy of the letter and this is the reply i got.



In response to your email, please contact our Claims department only if your policy was obtained via the brokers mentioned. The email address is in the letter attached.

Regards


now awaiting a reply


confused

 

Hmm strange

 

I knew it! I said that from the start which is why I didnt respond, its that ****er trying to get all his dodge paperwork back

 

All

The letter from Tradex is 100% legitimate. I have spoken to them today and they have categorically confirmed that they did send out the letter. They are going to send me an email confirming this so I can post it here.

It is not the scammer trying to get your info. He already has that!!!

Thanks

 

Here you go people - here is an email direct from Tradex confirming the letter they sent out is genuine:

 

has anyone else heard any more from this?
as today we have recieved a letter from city of london police
informing us that we are witness to a case of insurance fraud, am waiting for them to ring us back
clarke tomlinson has entered a not guilty plea to the charges put to him, he is currently on remand awaiting trial.
PCMH set for 9th march , if he enters not guilty trial will go ahead 13th april

 

Well I've not heard anything else at all. I found the police terrible and was always chasing them up and in the end I got fed up, so I don't think I'm being kept in the loop now

 

Yes it's true - he was arrested just before Xmas and is in custody. His plea is being entered on 9th March - if he pleads not guilty as mentioned above it will go to trial.

 

Did you speak to an officer called graham at city London police?

 

Hi Mario!! Good luck all. Let's hope he gets everything he deserves

 

To be honest I was one of the lucky ones that got my money back as I paid on a credit card and the CC company was able to get a chargeback sorted before it was too late. So I never pursued it any further as they had enough people & evidence already to prosecute. I am still in touch with some of the others who were defrauded though but obviously they can't say too much until after the court case.

 

He's up for sentencing soon

Good, hopefully it'll a few years jaitime

Although I have to say, I think Tradex should be also held accountable and fined accordingly: Its clear they didn't have a proper system in place to prevent this fraud.
