commander Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) After being scammed recently I received some good news today via Milweb FRAUD WARNING Please see this link - Norfolk Constabulary: Man jailed for fraud offences http://www.norfolk.police.uk/newsevents/newsstories/2010/august/manjailedforfraudoffences.aspx It appears the same man is targeting some of our "Wanted" adverts despite his conviction- please be careful not to get caught by him. He does call himself various names eg Mr Jones and Mr Turner - he normally phones and asks for payment to a bank account and the goods never arrive. He is a very convincing talker – do not be fooled.

Big ray Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Twenty one months is not long enough, it almost makes the offence worthwhile, hit these people hard if you want to send the right message out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rnixartillery Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Dont pay for anything until youve got it in your grubby mitts???

Commander Collection should be somewhere in the conversation when you're speaking to someone who wants payment directly into his or hers bank account. If they don't want you to collect the thing they are offering you have to decide whether you can risk the money or walk away from the deal. They have the advantage as it were as they have something you want it depends on how desperate you are for the part. Just like the real military a lot of dealing is done in secret on a need to know basis dodgy dealers rely on this. Obviously this only applies to the country you are living in, buying from another country relies on some sort of trust / reputation.

rnixartillery Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 All buying and selling is based on trust......................full stop. and as said before no seller is going to let an item go before it is paid for. Unfortunately now and then you get a bad egg ! Rob........................rnixartillery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
