Surely Gumtree should have a say/something to do/deal with situations like this after all they are in effect introducing you to the seller - incidents like this actually tarnish THEIR name and drive customers away therefore they lose business and gain brand damaging s issues

So a little update...

I actually located the Jawa real owner and home and the attach proved it could not have been sold by the guy on gum tree, so I have him bang to rights!

Police directed me to Fraud website and I have logged it but they might not even have resources to investigate. Gumtree have locked his account but that's it.

I wish I was closer than 8 hours away or I would look him up.

So dam frustrating.

Anyway name is defo Kris Winter Killeen but really need his address to take him to court. I only have a old address from 2013.

Have you tried citizen's advice? Give them a ring also and explain what happened.

Good Luck mate.

 

[Pomse2001]

yes good luck mate :wink:

 

[xbomber]

Any updates on this one? Nasty business.

 

[Starwarsfan29]

No news on this yet, still waiting for Police to respond. If they do nothing I'm going to go to my MP with the evidence.

 

[x-wingMark]

Hope you manage to get your money back mate.

 

[wrighty]

On Gumtree, meet and collect is the only way! Gumtree is like Tattoine, lawless!!

 

[tigerham]

Really sorry to hear about your situation my friend and hope you manage to sort things out. I'm a true believer in karma so am sure he'll get his eventually. :wink:

Finally had response from the fraud department...... wont progress further due to priorities and resource! This is disgusting!
I would give a £200 reward to track this ass##hole down.

It's discusting when you have evidence apart from his precise address and you can't do anything! Not on FB so don't know what other options I have.

Unbelievable it's taken this long for a response and down right disgusting that nothing is going to be done.
What a shambles the judicial system is in!

 

[Starwarsfan29]

Ok, I have an update. I think I have tracked the scammers address down ....
No 1 , OLD BLACKETT STREET, STANLEY, DH9 8LP.
Mr K KILLEEN

I'm going to send him a package he has to sign for to confirm it's him! What then I'm not sure, any suggestions guys?

Once you've confirmed it his address. Send him a box full of dogshit once a week for a while.
