goldenvtr Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) avoid this user. basically i paid for a quadlight engine loom (made sure it was completely unmodified as i needed a prestine replacement, and then additionally ask for the dash loom, i paid and then 3 weeks later after a so called mixup with "my hermes! and several messages i get a parcel which contained just an engine loom with pretty much all the sensor plugs, injector plugs missing, also a botched up repair from a fcd install. and tapped up random loose wires and No dash loom. so not usable in the slightest. when i eventually got a reply "she" which i suspect is well known scammer "mat cole"(should of done my research before buying) she said she was confused and thought it was all there as it was removed by a garage for a engine swap. it was obvias it was not as i asked and im not out of pocket £65 for a piece of trash loom, i did say i would be happy to accept a £30 back as i could use the fusebox side of the loom which she agreed but i had to wait till payday....3 weeks later payday arrives and now says she though i didnt want it anymore!? WTF now ignoring my messages ill happly post the whole convo which we had via pm as reading it back now i can see she is either a nieve retarded child, or just an obvias scammer. if anyone else has an issue with matt cole or kayleighep82, im happy to forward there address and work place details.excuse my grammar as this is more of a rage message and anywho who knows my username knows ive been around since 2003, and one of the original been there done that users but these youth modern nobheads are just dirty fuckers Edited September 23, 2015 by goldenvtr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

goldenvtr Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 i have since sorted the looms out but thanks anyway dave Yup unfortunately gift via paypal. live and learn i suppose, the money has obviously pissed me off, but the fact i wasted nearly 5 weeks of waiting to get the looms back in the car was what really frustrated me! had my garage unsuitable for over a month when id only planned a few days as the starlets been stuck in the way due to i stripped the old dash and engine looms out when i was told they had been posted:( and i needed to do some other odd jobs to made some money! :| hope there banned and don't get away with any more scams Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Also trouble is its pretty much impossible to stop people searching the wanted threads and pm'ing people with what they want.Back in the UKSC days sometimes the scammer used to get their sig changed to something like, 'avoid im a scamming bastard' haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesD89 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 These pair of cunts still at it, I reported her(him) to admin ages ago been a long time coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So wouldnt work im afraid. These pair of cunts still at it, I reported her(him) to admin ages ago been a long time coming. It was reported and discussed in a thead here: http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/94110-glanza-ben-negative-feedback/ Where it was apperently g/f not b/f account. However, now due to this latest feedback. The ban button was pressed earlier today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Signatures dont show up in Mobile View. So wouldnt work im afraid.Well could yous not try something like put a note above their profile pic like 'suspected scammer'?Because yous as staff dont seem to ban these people quick enough, and i know the reasons why so thats fair enough.But this cunt was reported by a couple members, and yet still no action taken for ages, then another member was scammed in the meantime. Maybe more?!It could have been avoided.UKSO has become a feeding ground for scammers over the last year or so and is getting a bit of a reputation for it. Even a trader turned into a scammer!Not really having a dig here just something has to be done.And yes i know the buyer should be taking great care not paying via gift etc but as a forum we should be doing our utmost to protect every genuine member on here.Even if it just a little note above their pic its still better than nothing.

I dont think UKSO's reputation is bad for scammers really. Compared with the likes of facebook. Its a huge community, its very difficult to moderate. Where else is there? We could just wade in with the ban hammer instantly. But then that cuts off any communication abilities to TRY and resolve the issue.The other issue with it is. If one deal went sour, and we hit the ban hammer. In the middle of someone else trying to recover there money. etc Its very difficult to try and do the best for everyone! As for AVOID SCAMMER above there name. BANNED is what it will say above there name if we get PROOF they are a scammer. That shit aint tolerated.... Can no stress enough though guys. Check the feedback section before doing a deal and NEVER pay as a gift unless you trust the person. What i will say though is. Its amazing how you lot come together to help/warn/protect each other as a community. Without 1000's of little detectives like yourselves, we wouldn't have a clue! SO thumbs up to you all.

Yes. I could. But people that scam, shouldn't be on here at all. So instead of still allowing posting and use of the forum with a small flag above your name. You will be removed completely of ALL your privileges. Then we have the issue where someone will MISS it, then we are back to square one again. If you scam someone. You will be Banned. This is the first time apparently... Matt Coles G/F has meant to have scammed someone. Weather it was really her or her b/f. We cant know for sure. Difficult situation as always.
