scammer on free ads - Steve Glennie

Copy everything you have, pms, emails etc, & contact the nips (northern Ireland police service), explain the situation & that since sending your rif you've been made aware that Glennie has a fairly recent conviction for similar offences, the most likely charges being obtaining goods by deception, & that he's at it again.

They may be interested, as its likely he has conditions set against him, should he reoffend within a set time frame.

Also, there is a uk cybercrime police unit (sorry dont have the link), as I'm sure your involvement with him is net based, & therefore meets criteria for their involvement, again because of his previous its likely they'll be keen to investigate.

Good luck mate.

 
Yeh he will have them kicking his ndoor in in no time...Hmm I have an idea.......

 
  Now, unless you have lots of documentary evidence you arent going to get very far with a theft claim.
We did , and still zero fucks given by the police , BUT as I said they soon showed interest when my oppo said he’d sort it him self . Positive glee in the plods eyes as he warned him if it did turn nasty he’d get him self arrested ! ?

Take him to small claims.


I agree in principle.  In practice, it's a long road, and the up-front costs add up quickly if you're determined to take it all the way to recovery.  I say this not to discourage anyone from doing it, just to set realistic expectations.

 
kneecapping is a much more viable option ?

(just don't talk about it on a public forum?)

 
If memory serves, - also following the thread on the same person in Forum Feedback - , he was court ordered to pay back all the money he stole and told if he is to do it again he will get some time... Small claims court might work. 

 
Hi all.

Brand new to the site as of this evening and thought I'd let you know about the 'gentleman' above!

I saw a number of adverts posted by 'Cal' concerning a number of Air pistols and airsoft pistols and equipment on Freeads.

One such advert I replied to and was going to ask some further questions when I realised that all the adverts of pistols seemed to have been taken in different places/ areas which is somewhat unusual.

I contacted him as it seemed a little strange that 'Ireland' where he was from appeared to be at 3 different locations in the UK. One being Bedfordshire, another Tyne and Weir and the 3rd in Northern Ireland.

Anyway I offered to swap my AA Custom Glock 17 for a Walther CP88 4.5mm bb pistol of his ( sorry folks I'm not an airsoft gamer or player) and asked him for his details in order that I could post him mine first thing in the morning.

He gave me his details and guess what.......?

It's your mate Steve  Glennie, 

[Address redacted by moderator]

I have given him all my details in case he might like to speak with me when he realises the pistol hasn't or won't turn up!

He has assured me that once he knows my pistol is on it's way to him he will send me  tracking details of his pistol he has posted to me.

I have reported this activity and his past misdemeanours immediately to Freeads who hopefully will do something about it but perhaps we shouldn't hold our breath eh?

Let me know what you think. ( I haven't told Cal/Steve anything yet!).

If I wasnt so honest I could potentially get up to all sorts of mischief with that address and phone number.......

 
Told matey (via Freeads text) I had to go to a family matter up country and wouldn't be home until late Weds so couldn't  post pistol to him on Monday morning as I had intended.

I suggested he posted his to me in the meantime and I would sort mine immediately I got home.

Guess what? Turns out that works even better for him as he has just been called in to work last minute and won't have time off till Thursday!?

He is going to send his swap Beretta to me once  have sent him tracking details of my swap package!!!

I messaged him to say that was a real coincidence but apparently:

"You've got to work the hours when they come bro'"!

I have again told Freeads about this and the batch of other suspect ads he has on there currently. His account is still live this morning.

As my old mate Baldrick used to say......" I have a cunning plan!"

Keep an eye open here for progress.

 
Well. The cuckoo has flown the nest!

I contacted him today to say I had sold my 6mm G17 as I had noticed he had marked his pistol as sold.

He contacted me to say he had done so to 'stop pms' from contacting him about it but that he had held it for me.

I told him I had another that he might be interested in but he declined.

I also offered to meet him in person as I am going to Belfast in 3 weeks but he didn't appear to want to, especially when I told him that Freeads had got his address in 3 different locations in the UK, N Ireland, Bedfordshire and Tyne and Weir. I suggested that he speak with Freeads as people might get the wrong impression of him!!!

Just looked on Freeads for a response and his adverts have all disappeared and all his correspondence to me in my inbox has done the same!

It's a pity as I was just beginning to enjoy our banter and mirrored piss taking.

I'm sure he will surface somewhere at sometime in the future but here's one chap he got F*** ALL from! 

 
Not sure if the same person but i have just had a message regarding a trade on another selling site from a "Chrissy Glennie" asking if i was interested in a trade?
