Have I been scammed right here on ozcard????

[edac6942]

I'll get some stuff together and hand it over to police, I guessing they will want paperwork so I'll have to do a lot of printing.

 

[mat2323]

Any news?

 

[edac6942]

No nothing that's it.

Sorry to hear mate. It sucks big time. I was scammed over on Hobbykings. No where as bad as you, i only lost about $500 worth but it really killed the hobby for me. Hope it works out for u mate.

 

[penny collector]

Yeah I am sorry to hear that this is going on and really do hope it works out for you.

But you've got this dudes passport copy/scan and his bank account details and the police won't do anything?
Get your bank to reverse the transaction!

Have you pasted his face all over blowoutcards forum also?

I'd also make an account on breakers.tv and advertise possibly a reward for information about the location of the scammer.

Not sure if I'm helping, but this story just pisses me off immensely and I would love to see justice done.

I just read all the posts and I can't believe this happened to you. It makes me feel sick to my stomach and it wasn't even my funds.
Really hope you nail this guy.

Email Brent and let him know, if any of the cards were the ones you purchased, I'm sure Brent will help out.

I am new to collecting cards and am new to this website, and I can't believe the amount of scamming posts I have read about.

I have a few hobbies and deal with buying items from people online all the time, mostly in the aquarium hobby. I have never been scammed online from a Hobby.

I am a little nervous going into the card collecting world with all of this scamming talk.

Please don't let the actions of a few change your mind @mathewaki

Although there are a few cases I would still call it rare... This is the worst I have heard about in a long while. If you look at most of the feedback for this site it is pretty safe. Just look out for red flags (and although a terrible generalisiation HK and Taiwan sellers) and until you believe you can trust someone just keep it above board. Paypal goods is always good for peace of mind over family and friends even if they ask for the extra couple of bucks in fees it is the better option and one of the ozcard rules I believe.

It is a great hobby and a great site so I agree with not letting this scare you off!

I have let him know we'll see if he gets back to me.

funny you should say that - we just banned a member from this site, when some research was done, turned out he was scamming on Aquarium forums!

Maybe I've been lucky over the years. I wasn't trying to say this site in particular.

It just astounds me that when I search forums, Google, YouTube and so on there seems to be a lot of talk about scammers and fake cards.
