I was contacted by a fellow Ian Clive using Marks Parts address in London UK regarding my WTB 9315 links listing. As it was a small amount under $200 I did minimal due diligence ,BIG mistake as Western Union seems to be aware of this potential scammer.I will be contacting the UK Police and hopefully this piece of Dog $hit be dealt with.I’ve done 103 transactions since I started this hobby and this is the first time I’ve not gotten what I paid for.So as the saying goes one out of a hundred are thieves ,statistically that seems about right.Beware of this maggot.

raw deal patrick, sorry to hear. he'll he gets what he deserves.
I am a current WTBer, and a newbie at that. I imagine *ssholes like this make it hard for legit sellers here to want to sell to those of us without a reputation yet. this seems like a respectable place. I wish there was a way to screen potential thieves, and keep their sorry *sses on ebay. |

rats roam everywhere!! Getting worse and worse if you ask me. I'm sad to say that in my day to day dealings, it has become increasingly hard to trust anyone on their word. It is sad when you think of it. Anyways...lesson learned I guess.

Have you tried calling him?? Or is the number bogus?? The guy's name itself would have thrown up flags for me, and I would have searched it out,address and all! I hope things still may work out for you in the end....

Bad deal, Patrick. I hope law enforcement catches this piece of dog $hit and throw him in jail for a good while.

My understanding is "Ian" is not even a member on the forum. Don't worry about your infamous thread, time to move on... ![]() |

So the person who scammed you was not an established member here.
So you didn't get scammed here then. You got scammed by someone who has a computer somewhere. It's good that Western Union know he's a bad 'un though. It means that they should refund you as they admit knowing that they were passing money to a known criminal.

this "Ian Clive" sent me an e-mail from my want to buy add as well. I could not find him as a member here and ignored the e-mail. He also tried to sell me "parts" and the add was for a complete watch. Anyone can google info about rolex and get to threads from here. It just makes me more sure to check with members here before making any moves.

I've owned a retail store and an online store. I have been scammed in the past. I feel the real crooks are credit card companies and in this case Western Union. Its baloney that people can use their services to rip you off. So what is Western unions excuse for not having the guys proper name and address? Let me guess they blamed you? pfff... thats a joke.
Sorry about your deal but until the gov comes in and makes these companies responsible for this neglect on THEIR part its going to continue to happen its just too easy to do. |
