    It's electronic mugging. The annoying thing is that it's actually easy to trace this guy and we can't get him bloody arrested let along banged up. How fucked up is our legal system when you can just get away with blatant theft over and over again with no repercussions? The police need to get with the times. The sheer amount of theft that happens electronically now is huge. It's about time they started doing something about it.

    It makes me sad.

    I'm not sure that they did. 

    I think it's more a sales tactic - list a load of things, mark one as "sold" more or less straightaway and it adds "legitimacy" to the ad/seller and makes others think "I'd better buy that XYZ before someone else does".

    Obviously, it's a bit of an underhand sort of tactic, but then look who's doing it ...

    No need for that.

    We even have the guys address - we'd be handing him to the police on a silver platter - What the fuck is going on?

    How did it go with the police when you reported him?      
    Really hope you get some closure on this - disgusting thing to happen in a place that should be safe to buy sell and trade.

    Man... this is just unbelievable. Is there a policeman in our midst who'd like to open a case on the piece of shit?!

    I remember reading this thread a few days ago thinking what nice looking cheap pedals ! Has this guy been reported to the proper channels? If not he will continue his fraudulent ways.

    He's tried to register 2 new IDs so far this morning.  Both have been blocked.

    It's very curious behaviour.

    You'd think he'd notice that we've spotted his crooked behaviour by now and then find somewhere else to ply his 'trade'.

    Ironic that someone busted for not sending out stuff he's sold would then try and sell a delay.... but anyway....
     
    PM'd re. the Delay. I'll take it. Next day delivery, yeah?

    Because he's a morally vacant piece of shit.

    Gotta wonder. Do we have his PayPal/Gmail/Hotmail details? I assume we can get in touch with these organisations and at least inform them that he's using them to commit crime? A minor inconvenience for him I suppose. But certainly without PayPal, it'd make his life more difficult.

    He might be pissed that he's been found and attention he's received thanks to the detective work on here. It could be a revenge/get even thing.

    Can this be moved to off-topic now? He's not selling stuff, no-one posting on the thread is buying stuff.

    If they were buying stuff they'd be in this thread:

    http://thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/34661/fs-malekko-mooer-piggyfx-new-juan-solo-pt2-rowin-price-drops

    there are some jaw-dropping bargains to be had in that thread!
    A sig-nat-eur? What am I meant to use this for ffs?! Is this thing recording?

    The deeper he digs, the bigger the inevitable fall, to the bottom of his deceptive empire.  He will bury himself with enough effort.

    I genuinely think he is in need of professional psychiatric help, this is so far from normal, even for someone with such a disturbed character.
