Cromulon1994 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 His Instagram profile is tactical_airsoftt which is very much like the Prefired advert. I'll pm his address once it's confirmed if you'd like? And he's a member of the airsoft site NPF Bassetts pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylithics Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 What I found also is in that Instagram story is there is a picture of the tm 416 with a pistol all backed out in a smokey kinda lens and if you look at the box it’s a g@g armament.. now when I was getting the pictures of him boxing up etc the box is you guessed it g@g... so on HIS insta the box g@g and the supposedly random guy who took the picture has the same g@g box that he’s boxing up with... caaaaaa mooo haha *Pic bottom left says G&G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't message him, anyone, don't do it, he will likely dissappear down the rabbit hole. Don't message his team, chances are they will just warn him.

Pressure may mean he pays back at least. Contact the police and prefired first. Then go elsewhere. His team may kick him out, his site may ban him and possibly make other sites aware to his behaviour. Shunned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylithics Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Honestly this guy is thick! Lol we’ve got him on at least 3 counts now.. the towel he used to make the selling page.. is the same in the insta page.. the pistol stands the same he send me and Stephen.. he’s knackered. I want to get him kicked out of every site known to man! He’s a disgrace to the Airsoft community.. just some wee laddie thinking he can do whatever the hell he wants.. not on my watch. I’ll let him sleep on it until I pounce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chased enough stolen motorcycles and shit on Facebook/Instagram ect, while they're dumb enough to leave all their personal info everywhere and happy enough to give it out, it'll be the easiest way of getting the money back. Through the police you won't get anything and he will likely not get done, either. Been there with some cunt pot with my motorcycle in his back garden, halfway across the country and that still wasn't enough evidence. It needs to be dealt with, calmly, non violently but firmly. I. E, being calmly called challenged in person on a game day, ideally red handed with your rifle, and do it with a go pro. Present printed screenshots of it all to him.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted November 19, 2019 Supporters Share Posted November 19, 2019 Sorry to hear this. I got taken for a BFG by a similar cad who was my bestest mate until he had my money, then came the excuses and fake tracking numbers. The most successful scammers are the ones that you'd least suspect. Now I ask for an explicit PayPal invoice right up front, or just walk away. £370 though, ouch. UKARA or the alternatives may have an address for him. They can disclose it for the purposes of detection of crime. They probably won't give it to you, but they should to the police / ActionFraud if they bother taking an interest, or if you have a crime number it may be worth asking anyway - just stay polite and factual.

Sylithics Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hey guys! after speaking to the bank for what felt like 2 hours.. I have finally got my money back told them everything the address his family the box he sent a picture of, the rug he used to take the pictures.. everything. They put the money in in seconds. On another not as well I said paid threw f&f but in fact it came straight out of my account so I think I got a bit lucky 🍀.. they handled it perfectly. The guy Tom who delt with the call couldn’t of been nicer about things really couldn’t. The police phoned me this morning regarding the issue and I still want to take things further.. he still has the other buyers money Stephen Joyce as he paid threw f&f I’m not letting him scam another bloke who is looking for something again. Named and shamed! I’m going to phone all the sites he goes to to get him banned. Until Stephen gets his money back it’s not over yet. Also I just want to say a massive thank you to the people who helped me deal with this.. salt of the earth kind of people. I really do appreciate all the looking up, the searches everything. I felt so alone and didn’t have a clue what to do.. but use guys made it right. I’m really grateful for that. If anyone is around the Edinburgh area in the next couple of weeks for a game of Airsoft at my local I would love that 👌 cheers again Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkee Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 If anyone is familiar with it (I am but I CBA doing the legwork) there is a very helpful little application available with Kali Linux called Maltego, it may even be on Windows too. What this will allow you to do is feed it an email address and it will recursively search the whole internet for connections to that email address/Facebook profile etc etc. May prove useful for someone....... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he is a scammer scum, he is a player, why would they delete his number? Are they going to be the judge and convict him before the police does and punish him in a completely unrelated way? SJW mentality is just bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eg Did they do this due to credit card regulations? (which probably wouldn’t apply to a private sale anyway, and I think PayPal also don’t meet that criteria) Or due to the banks own fraud policy? Did they say whether or not they have drawn a ‘charge back’ and thus refunded you, or that they have taken the hit to pursue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
