@mamber, i did wonder if he was simply on holiday and will have a heart attack when he comes back online and sees this thread!
Yes, there's no point in me going to a small claims court, too small an amount but I meant it would be good for those who have lost expensive phones or a lot of money if this does all turn out to be a scam.
If so, this will be the second time I will have been scammed and lost money on Esato. Despite what people say about Ebay, I have not lost a PENNY on there, had one problem with someone not sending a phone but got my money back via Paypal.
Obviously, Laffen and co. don't have the resources for buyer/seller protection, and indeed I don't expect that in a phone forum. I'm sure it says somewhere as well that any trades are done at our own risk, which is also fair.
I think in the future when dealing with newer members/traders I am going to insist they send the goods first before i send payment, seems the only way to avoid being scammed. Many noobs won't like this, but that's going to be the way I operate with unknown quantities from now onwards.

@Sammy
Didn't mean you mate, just a coin of phrase so to speak.
What I mean is don't bother for small amounts under £50 it will probably cost you more in time and hassle.
Sad thing about trading on forums is 99% of the time it comes down to trust, regardless of the amount of feedback you may have. There is no easy answer unless you are prepared to join forums that have a fee or recommendations from other members for membership. Scammers don't like paying for joining, and they certainly don't get recommendations from others.
Worth thinking about mods, make it a secure site?

Hang_Man if you are reading this thread, you have two choices either get up of your arse and do the right thing by paying people back what you owe them or you can face the consequences. Because believe me we are a very tight community here at esato and people will not take this lying down.
If i were you right now i would be crapping my pants because if you do not sort this out you will be in sooo much shit my friend, we have your photo, msn, ip address, address etc etc!!!
DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!

Can I just say he is NOT on holiday. He has been texting tmag yesterday, but failed to reply to the most important question.
He says he has not had the chance to go on line yesterday as he was out all day but he will be going on when he gets in. This is last night.
So he either went on and read what was posted and failed to respond, or is just lying through his teeth.
Seriously, this bloke is p***ing me right off and if he doesnt reply to something soon, he is gonna wish he had more than s**t for brains. |

as per normal wifey is spot on..
he doesnt really have 2 choices though.. he either pays the money back etc or he will get shafted....
as she said we wont take this lying down. i know i havent been had but people i know have, and thats good enough for me to get involved..
as for someone saying about him not living at that addres.. it was taken off 192.com and he was registered there in 2005 in the electoral role...
theres no hiding Mark. we will get you back..

You go girl! (that was to fairy girl and not fatreg lol, although he is abit of a girl but that is another story hehehehe)
If there is one thing i can't stand it is people who scam others it just is not fair, these people want things and they just cannot be bothered to save up or get a job to get what they want the honest way.
Being scammed is the most horrible thing even if it is a small amount, this guy is one little shit and a stupid one at that. He will get what he deserves believe me there are people on here who would gladly pay to get up to Scotland just for the principle and i hope they do.

Did any of you pay via bank transfer? if so you can do a chargeback through your bank.

That is a good suggestion lamont but at the end of the day this isn't just about getting money back this guy needs to be taught a lesson!
