i like the idea of posting his number..i will happy to bombard him with calls.. in return, i'd like to post the number if two rip off roofers based in the nottingham area. reminds me of a rather unpleasant man named Warwick Binks.. Former director (sacked) of 4th Dimension?? A man who repeatedly lied to me, and stole money from me by deception...these scumbags DO exist..he was one of them..if youre out there Warwick, pay me that visit..id love to chat. The story i could tell you about him is unbelievable...i was lucky though, because i got my money back after making his life a little bit difficult. Best of luck to you Matt...it sounded like he was genuine until he stopped taking your calls...probably a chancer.
write a letter to the bank making it very obvious you're going to make a very public scene (media / tv / etc) about their unwillingness to help you and their willingness to let fraud continue knowingly. Call his local police constabulary - they'll do more if its on their patch, and also might be worth giving his local papers a call - its the sort of press local hacks love as it gives them something juicy to sink their teeth into. Funky - would that be 4th dimension motorcycles in surrey? I spoke to them once, and yes.. some interesting claims about what they were about. Matt, find out for certain if its him, then just use his mobile number for everything you can, afterall, everyone loves a cold call at all hours and everyone loves a prostitute that offers all services at all hours - just call. or as you have his financial details you could just sign him up for a nice load of wonga and other payday loans. Then just break all his fingers, then knees and elbows, smash his teeth out with a hammer and then torch the fucker. ok thats a bit extreme... just torch him. If you've got any mates that work nights you could give them his number to call him at random hours of the morning - always fun.
sorry to read this Matt, act on it quickly before it's too late. i have been had over too - by what i thought was a mate. so if anyone ever steps across the shoes of william g langton, bill langton, wlracing etc etc from the northwest or which ever rock he is hiding under these days - feel free to jump on his shoes heavily until a grand pops out. twunt
Just on the off chance, did you make the payment through credit card? I bought some stuff froma company at went bankrupt, because I use a credit card I was able to get my bank to refund it. I try not to make any big purchases through my bank anymore.
Warwick Binks. That name rings a bell from a loooooong time ago...something to do with custom painting?
BLD Group Adds Technical Powerhouse Warwick Binks to its Operations Team Warwick Binks!!! 2the UK’s leading expert on motorcycle repair, carbon fibre and advanced paint techniques" Like fuck he is!!!
Yep, thats the guy.. i found the exact same thing the other and finally got to look at his sorry mug... View attachment 19828 ive still got some of the texts saved on my phone of his lies, and a photo he sent me of his bank account screen 'proving' that my money hadnt ended up in his bank..funnily though, the date, account number, and address were all obscured. This man is NOT to be trusted. Looks like there are plenty of these scum bags around..Id deffo follow up the Anglesey lead and see where that takes you...If you trace the arsehole then one way or another im sure you'll get £500 worth out of him.
Reported to Barclays fraud team who were unwilling to follow this up despite the detail I provided. I quote: 'Unfortunately as you willingly transferred the money, there is nothing we can do'. Great support and of course they will not give me any information due to data protection, great help....
Sadly no, it was a bank transfer from my Barclays business account Barclays are not interested despite me telling them the account was being used for fraudulent activities, its ridiculous....
The result of this is it means I have to recoup the loss to my business somehow and after much consideration and all my savings in the bike or already in the business, I am looking to sell the Ducati. I don't want to and would prefer to tuck her away till spring but as I started my business this year, my priorities have to change. Things are going well but cash flow is difficult enough to manage, this fuck up does not help me at all.
there must be some info on here as to who it was? a member name what other things did they post on anyone else had dealing with them????
At the moment, Matt is trying to establish the users for the ad's 35 views as he is one of them, but I think its unlikely to help find him as you don't have to include any personal contact info when joining forums these days, except for an email that may only be used to set up initially. This is the reality of cyber trading. I think its more annoying as I have bought and sold car and bike parts for years in the same way and this is the first time its gone tits up, but its bad enough for me to reconsider the way I buy and sell parts.... Lets be honest, its my own fault for not being paranoid enough to demand pictures, landlines, engine numbers, proof of their addresses etc, this is when the fraudsters strike. His mobile number is 07920 479 738. He called himself Bob, allegedly based in Poole, Dorset. It goes straight to answer phone so most likely a PAYG sim....(Incidentally Vodafone were not willing to do anything either......bloody data protection....)
Have you googled that phone number? when I get a missed call I often google it to check for scammers before I call it back,sometimes throws something up
Yep, nothing. Scammers will use a different sim for each victim as keeping the same number will thread them together. I have done everything, bank, police, 192.com, vodafone, forum etc. No one is willing to do anything, data protection has everyone so paranoid that no-one wants to get involved
Sorry this is taking so long from out side of the fence Matt. As requested, Ive nudged Rob and hopefully he'll be able to pull some data for you. Cross fingers
I cant believe your bank wont help out, I had problems last year after BT ( who I work for ) activated a dormant direct debit that I set up and didn't use, at a previous address, ( long story) anyhow Natwest raised a case and I got my money back, however should they have appealed I would have had it taken back again, you really should pursue your bank more, in person that's if the bank account he used is still live, good luck
It does not work as the mobile is either switched off or the sim was removed and the voicemail is a hub rather than the handset itself, but a good idea, thankyou. I would rather be able to establish if it is a PAYG or actually has an address registered against it.....Is there another way other than via vodafone?
