No joke here, already on the police. I knew something wasn't right.

Seriously bad news. Hope you get it all sorted. This might not help at the moment, but remember its only money - don't let it stress you out too much if you can help it.

Did you not have an address of some sort! I think you have a very large safety prospective with bank transfer as they will have his information! Hope you get your money back bud

Holy sh*t i thought as soon as i seen you  had a tracking nuber everything was all good and it was a genuine mix up and delay, this is terrible..!!

 

i'm guessing theres no answer to his phone? just a thought have you tried googling his number?

[Moggyton]

I thought it was all going to be ok after the tracking number too.... =/ But seems as you have his bank details for the transfer im guessing you can get hold of his address or atleast the police should be able to. Hope you get your money back, cant imagine the thought of opening it to see paper -.-

There are some nasty people out there 

 

It's flat out fraud, so don't let the police fob you off with ''it's a civil matter''

what have the police said?

do you have any proof of purchase?

[Moggyton]

Just a thought, could you perhaps email gumtree? Surely he would have to register his details in order to advertise something?

Police aren't too interested they took details but that is it. 

I phoned parcelforce who gave me the post office phone number and post code that he sent it from. 
 

at first he sent me an invoice so I have that as proof and I put it in the description of the bank transfer.

offers still there if you pm me his information i can research him for you.

There's a surprise! If you were doing 34mph in a 30 zone you would be done quick enough. Keep at them, ask what they are doing and ask for a timescale. If you are not happy ask to see the next in the food chain. In my experience most of them seem to want an easy life of drinking coffee and dreaming of their enormous pensions. The more noise you make the more likely you are to get some action. Good luck.

Im trying to get through to my bank now i have a crime number.

[JimminyBob]

What scum, I really hope you can sort this out. I was hoping that it might all turn out alright in the end and you'd get the camera.

I have work in an hour too, what an awful day. 


I am doing my best, but can't get through to anyone or they won't give me anything because of data protection.

Worth a try I suppose, if he's really stupid he might reply. I doubt he's got the morals to refund the money though.
