He's on a static IP that's registered to Orange UK (broadband) in Stoke. No-one else has ever used that I.P on oOple. TBH everything about this screams scam.

If you paid by "normal" Paypal, I would open a dispute and get your money back..

I spoke to Tim today about this and unfortunately in his own words "I stupidly paid as a gift". And it wasn't a massive amount but it's still his hard earned and some waster has got away with it again.

For what little it's worth I removed trader access from mx5 as soon as I saw Tim's post (around 24hrs ago) and sent him a PM. But as he's not been online...

I think I'd mess with him at the very least and give him a scare with some hacking. Edit, I don't condone hacking, It can cause rude awakenings via water poured on the head! Last edited by Danny Harrison; 03-09-2014 at 11:19 PM. |

PayPal cannot help as because it was a gift payment it falls outside of their payment protection guarantee.
But, if the payment was funded from your Bank or Credit Card, the payment funding option you choose when making a payment via PayPal, you should still be able to get your money returned to you. You would need to speak to your Bank or Credit Card provider and ask to initial a Charge Back, then they will be able to look into getting your money back due to non-receipt of items. PayPal don't advertise this very freely as they obviously want you to pay their charges for the guarantee service, and they are charged by the banks for each completed Charge Bank due to transactions placed via their service. This does depend upon your Bank's or Credit Card's customer guarantee service agreement, and the funding source you chose on PayPal when making the payment to him. But most Banks and Credit Cards are pretty good and cover for a significant amount of time after the transaction date, so worth a call to them. |

Can't tell I'm afraid. All I can say is his IP is still unique to that username (ie - no-one else has used that address to create an account, or post from an existing account)

If suggest all of you who have been conned (seems there is another thread too) go to police station with the info including the static ip so they at least have it on record because he's probably doing it on other forums too

I am sick of pricks like this ruining my karma...
Someone go round his house and kick his face in. Thomas Smithy 3 Franklyn St Stoke-on-trent, Staffordshire st1 3hd United Kingdom Phone: +44 1782559564 smithytom89@outlook.com It should prehaps be noted that this info is supplied (via another great oOple member) to me from an unverified paypal account. I'm also sick of paypal "gift". I've said it until I'm blue in the face, and paypal tells you too... Gift is for giving money to friends and family only

Sure it is a coincidence, but how ironic that his postcode is almost an anagram of
SH1T H3D (I know that has 2 "h" while postcode only has 1)

I struggled to find 3 Franklyn St too. Google seems to thing that odd numbers of that street start at 15.
