Ujustgotsarged Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 Hello I believe I have been scammed by a user on here, is there an admin that could provide some help. It was a trade, via post, I know that was risky, but just wanted some help,
Steveocee Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 @proffrink is the admin. Can't think of any mods off the top of my head. ***In fact @L3wisD is the nicest mod, he'll normally swing anything in your favour for cash.

Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted August 3, 2020 Mostly Retired Moderators Posted August 3, 2020 Hi @Ujustgotsarged Sorry you might have been scammed. I'll do my best to help, but I can't always guarantee a good outcome. Can you do me a favour please? In the PM chain, report on of the messages (little flag in the top right) and it lets me in to see it all. And I'll take a look.

It was a trade, via post, I know that was risky, but just wanted some help, While I'm sure your not looking to name & shame at this point, knowing who your trade was with may prompt other members to come forward & comment on their own experiences with him, positive/negative/meh ? Edit: I should also point out that knowing who he is & what he's touting may prevent others from falling victim in the future.
AlphaBear Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 We need to be carful that the whole GDPR debate doesn’t surface either. I’m all for naming and shaming but where does that stand on privacy rules ? #devilsadvocate.

GDPR specifically applies to organisations operating within the EU, and how those orgs deal with personal info - it doesn't apply here
Supporters Rogerborg Posted August 25, 2020 Supporters Posted August 25, 2020 DPA 2018 allows for (but does not compel) the disclosure of personal data for the prevention and detection of crime: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/12/schedule/2/paragraph/2 Fraud is a crime. Prevention is axiomatically pre-crime, so you don't necessarily have to even show that one has been committed.
Moderators Tackle Posted August 25, 2020 Moderators Posted August 25, 2020 If their thieving scum they shouldn't have any rights, surely they gave up any legal rights the minute they took someone's money ? (In a perfect world ?)

EvilMonkee Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Either way I don't think a forum Username could in any way be said to be personal information, it would hardly identify someone.
