It’s really easy to open an account with them without any credit checks, no stringent checks or whatsoever. On a normal day Michael having a track record of scamming people would have a CIFA on his name by now and that would bar him from opening a business account from a high street bank hence he resorted to cash plus. My bank already got intouch with cash plus to recover the funds and still no response, I personally rang them and they couldn’t give me an answer. A high street bank would had placed a hold on the funds right away, then investigate when my bank got in touch. Anyway that’s not highly important here and would try not to deviate from the subject. I’m here to share information about my experience with these cons and as well seek more information. Thank you Edited October 7, 2017 by Idrivebimma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have informed action fraud police Uk already and a report had been created, as well as the trading standards. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Dave.

Action fraud are not likely to do anything to help you, this article from 2 years ago highlighted that http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/investing/11812377/Victim-of-fraud-Why-the-authorities-WONT-investigate.html Have a look at the eBay Vehicle Scam Alerts page on facebook, they have managed to recover quite a bit of money from eBay scammers, they may be able to give you some options for getting your money back from the bank rather than the scammer. https://www.facebook.com/groups/GroupEVSA/?fref=nf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idrivebimma Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 After spreading what they are upto here and few other platforms, whilst at work today out the blue they sent me a text messsge and it reads ‘ We will refund please email confirmation of cancelled order for engine with your name address & bank details thanks Denzil‘ Interestingly I had sent them my full bank info when I requested refund previously. Not sure this is just a hoax so I would not keep spreading the word. Will keep you posted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwazyWabbit Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 They probably don't want their bank account getting closed down by the bank. Be very careful it may however just be a stalling tactic. Also if the funds do get paid back it's not unknown for banks to claw them back again if there is some dispute over where they came from. Last thing, of course keep a close eye on your account as people have managed to get money out of accounts just using sort and account number, Jeremy Clarkson was one famous victim when he gave his out on air.

They’ve gone back to the old tactic of ignoring my calls, sms and email since I sent them the my bank info for refund! probably a stalling tactic as my bank and the police fraud, trading standards are on the case already. I won’t let go until full refund is done, would explore all the options available even ones I can’t mention here. They got to be stopped. Times are hard and unacceptable for some conman to sit and keep scamming people from their hard earned cash. Having a broken vehicle engine that costs 3.5k alone makes ones finances meddled, and on top of that a conman thieving another £1,500.

Idrivebimma Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Yes I paid into a business account ‘just 4 ltd’ The legal process is already being taken care of by my Solicitor’s so they’ll end up with costs attached. Here’s the listings again live on Ebay, please click in the link and report the listing, this way the more people that click that Ebay would probably shut his listings down else there would be more and more victims. And some Don’t even know about this forum, I was lucky when I googled I came across it.https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/122746104997https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/122746099511https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/122746096392https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/122746097543https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/122746098345https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/122716547855https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/122716551065https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/122716549214 Interestingly non of the listings accepts PayPal, only a mobile phone number and a business address that is invalid. When I visited the address in their Ebay account there was no sign of them and neighbours told me they been known for scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraudulent listing should do. As it don’t seem any of those are available.. one gets woed into paying them and would end up receiving nothing and no communication.

stobbie Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 To get back at them a bit I regulary buy rather expensive parts from them on Ebay. TDV8 complete interior for 1500 etc.. I make an appointment for collection in a few days. Mark the item as paid afterwards and ofcourse never show up :-) . I hope the will have to pay the ebay charges each time. After I while I will leave some negative feedback, telling the parts where damaged and they wouldn't refund :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanuki Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I really, really recommend people always buy stuff online using a credit-card rather than a debit-card or by bank-transfer. Credit-card transactions are covered by an entirely more consumer-friendly set of legislation than debit-card transactions or bank-transfers. [Given their history, I'm kinda surprised nobody's yet resorted to visiting Mr. Fear and his cohorts to introduce them to the 'exfoliative' end of a gritblaster] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobbie Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Yes, they screwed me over, one or two years ago.. Yes it is strange that nobody has gone to his house..

He has built a nice shed: https://www.facebook.com/Edwardbarrington814 Edited October 11, 2017 by stobbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idrivebimma Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Just an update refund hasn’t still come through ( was only lied) I rang up to follow up and Michael Fear answered and said ‘you c**t, that I been ringing his phone over 50 times that he is not going to make any refund’ Already making arrangements to hunt this guy, wouldn’t say the next steps on here, that would happen if he is found. I’ll keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=jon= Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Just been a thing on the local news (HTV West) about a company based in Sling who were stealing / stripping various Land Rovers - looks to be the same people. Somebody Barrington appears to have just been given a jail sentence at Bristol court for it. I didn't catch all the snippet to get the full details. It doesn't appear to be on the BBC News site yet either.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobbie Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 lets hope he will finaly have to go to jail. Their car thefts have been all over the news, but that's some time ago already 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
