Guest Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi Joan, The guy who runs this site (martin, I think) mentioned in another thread today that there had been a problem with emails being sent out in error, so I think it's just a technical mess up: https://www.soul-source.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=51741 Adam.

Guest garv Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Ive had 4 e-mails today informing me that Record-dealer auction site has suspened my account on the grounds that i have exceeded my maximum debit balance It then tells me to log in & clear my account balance & theres a link to the web site. The strange thing is ive never purchased anything from this site & never registered my details with them Has anyone else had the same e-mail or if the owner of the site is a member perhaps they could help clear the matter up, i`m not logging on to the site in case something dodgy is going on. Anyone else? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest garv Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Ive just started a new thread on this without seeing yours Joan. Yes ive had the same e-mail & have never purchased anything from them....... i did`t log on either as i thought it was dodgy. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Martin Thompson is a good bloke and it's a cheek to come on here and say this is a scam without the full facts. To be fair Matt with so many scams going on it's not surprising people have this reaction, I also know Martin, as do many people on here, and know he is a top bloke but with these things it is so easily possibly be someone masking as his site in order to get details. You have to be so careful these days. I did not see Martin's earlier post on the topic so it is quite easy that other people didn't either.

Martint Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) sorry sorry sorry, clearly it's not a scam but it is an unwelcome and unneccesary email/series of emails generated by a site error during an upgrade. As I said in the other thread, I do apologise, and please delete and ignore. Nobody's details are being used by anyone else and it's just a bit of an embarrasing cock up all round. Martin PS quick edit to say that you will only have received this email if you HAVE registered with the site at some point - I have NEVER registered anyone myself. If you want to make sure you never ever get anything from the site again, drop me a PM and I will delete all of your details. Would be a shame, as it is trying to offer an alternative market place for listing sales and auctions but its entirely up to you.

shute Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Theres another one that you ort not to open..... it says the ''You have an ECARD from a family member'' I opened this and it took 4hrs to close it..... emails ended up with a Trogan ... then had to buy a 'patch' to stop it happening again..... I know its not on the same topic as someone maybe trying to access your details... but its a nasty one Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Martin Actually, it's probably our fault. Martin & family spent the weekend with Arthur & myself in Yorks AND you know how the southern lot get dizzy north of Watford You couldn't meet a more honest guy folks, but never click on any such link (from your bank, ebay etc) just in case the next such email comes from a dubious source. m ps. anniv card arrived today - thank you!

Martin Thompson is a good bloke and it's a cheek to come on here and say this is a scam without the full facts. Hi again as I said I think that someone has hacked into Martin's site and is trying to gain peoples info. I did not say that Martin was trying to scam anyone but I would be wary of this if anyone else gets this mail. sorry Martin no offence intended but I still think that someone else is trying to scam people's information by trying to get them to give over their account details. best regards fdsoul6345789 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Martint Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 a quick thank you to everyone for their support and understanding. I have been able to find out where the site went wrong (it was all caused by one wrong digit in a 4 megabyte software upgrade package.....!) What I have decided to do is to completely delete the old site including ALL registered users because some people had clearly forgotten that they had registered and were understandably getting a bit aeriated because they thought they had been added without their consent. So.... https://www.record-dealer.com toddles on with a completely fresh start, and is now (as far as I am aware!), working properly. It's now set up to offer free basic listings with no closing fees so if anyone wants to give it a go then please register and do so. If you want to see 'another' alternative site for selling records by auction or set sale without ebay fees then here it is. I will be adding some of my own records over the next few weeks as I am intending to sell off a lot of them (I will also be doing some lists so PM me if you want to make sure you are on my mailing list which is completely seperate and nothing to do with the auction site). I will also have a bulk lister available in a couple of weeks to enable dealers to bulk add their records to the site (a turbo lister type thing) - so if any dealers would like to make use of it (for free) and have their stock in an electronic format then get in touch and I'll be able to help to get them listed. thanks Martin Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
