Default Weasal_Licker AKA James Clarke

Can't believe I was stupid enough to get scammed on the classified section even after reading soo many threads.

The guy was in need of cash 'desperately' as bailifs were coming around and he wouldn't accept Paypal so in the end I paid him via online banking. We both agreed that I could pick up the PS3 today as I had to make a trip to west sussex anyway, so I'm there since half 1 and I get a text message from him to say that his mates cars broken down, then he says he's going to get his 'other' mate to pick him up and bring him to me, then he said AA were coming out to fix his mates car, then he said he got out the car and was coming walking to me (even though i asked someone local how far petworth was and they said 15 miles :s Baring in mind since half 1 I have been asking him to give ma postcode so I can come to him and he blanked the question every single time.

I waited and waited and he stopped texting me, I tried ringing him about a dozen times but he wouldnt answer and then at 17:00 his fone was turned off.

The topic he made is below:

playstation3! cheap needs to go

How these people can sleep is beyond me, I hope one day something similar happens to him.

RANT OVER

Thanks a lot mate i really appreciate it, I have pmd u the details.

His fone is still off no surprise there.

Obviously im upset at the fact that ive lost money i just hope someone can show him justice above all, at least i know his real name is james clarke as the bank transfer would not have gone thru.

Very sorry to hear youve been scammed,But why on earth did you pay him by transfer if you were going to collect anyway?
