Mike Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 Just been told a new member is pm-ing various members and offering 45s via payment thru friends and family paypal This is not an approved or indeed recommended method of selling on here and imo is highly suspect given the amount of pms sent and the f&f The email given for payment is different than the account email and the ips being used to post these pms are currently non-uk! Anyone involved in such trading with thsi member is strongly recommended to put any trading on hold with this member until I have looked into this further
Mike Posted November 29, 2022 Author Posted November 29, 2022 any member who has had dealings with this member via pms please get in touch with status of sale/trade
Mike Posted November 29, 2022 Author Posted November 29, 2022 this is looking bad anyone any dealing get in touch asp
Nitram Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 Who do i get in touch with, as i have already sent a 50% payment, to this person.
Keamus Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 I’ve sent him full payment. Sent a message to Source and already raised with PayPal requesting refund.
Woodbutcher Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 I'm flabbergasted to hear that anyone would send anything to a new member with no posts or history of any kind on here ... what were you thinking ... ?
Keamus Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Sheer bloody stupidity. I asked for references, asked who he knew, but temptation got the better of me. Only thing I did right was not sending as friends and family. First time in all the years I’ve been buying records this has happened to me. Edited November 29, 2022 by Keamus
Nitram Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 Same here to, friends and family aswell, never had an issue before, until now. Trying to get payment stopped, with fraud team.

Maybe genuine but good to warn and check
Floyd Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Hi do not use friends and family at all costs, only did it once against my better judgement to an ex member on here Rob Reily and got shafted for £300 expensive lesson but i wont be doing it again no matter how many assurances the seller promises ATB Floyd Edited November 29, 2022 by Floyd
Nitram Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 To late for me floyd, let's hope he is genuine, never had a problem before, 1st time for everything, i suppose, costly lesson.

Mustang Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 Sorry to hear about this folks. Replied in detail on the rip off alert. Basically,watching him like a hawk, any suspicious activity will be fed back immediately. He is checking out members profiles, checked mine and i checked his, no info,alarm bells ringing. Good luck to all,hopefully you don't get stung. KTF.
Tricky Posted December 1, 2022 Posted December 1, 2022 Normally this is an exceptionally safe site. I nearly always pay by friends and ask for the same when I do sell on here. It doesn’t take much to tell the kosher sellers on here does it? Sincerely hope you all get your monies back. Trev
Nitram Posted December 1, 2022 Posted December 1, 2022 Hi trev, i don't fancy my chances, already contacted paypal and my bank, niether, can help me, lesson learn't.
