February 1, 201510 yr I've been doing some digging. May I suggest that you try calling your bank, and asking them to reverse the payment. Explain that it was payment for goods and that they've not arrived. Your bank may be able to help you here. i'll do it first thing in the morning.
February 1, 201510 yr Crew Best of luck, Vagelis. We have our fingers crossed for you. What this man says!
February 1, 201510 yr What this man says! +1. I will second that. As for the bank. I am in the financial world. Stock broker and economist. If the money that went thru PayPal came from a deposit account, the bank can't do anything. If the money came from a credit card, a simple letter to the bank is enough to have the bank at least alert PayPal that there is fraud here. Obligatory is that the bank issued the card. Big problem is that the transaction took place not as a commercial deal but as a friend to friend ( without PayPal fees ), making it harder to prove the fraud. In any case it is worth trying, although I must say that chances are extremely slim for any success. Oh my...
February 2, 201510 yr If things go wrong , all the way ... and the seller wont conform at the end. Then , things get really simple. Names Addresses Copy of the add in this forum Copies of pm's and e-mails Copy of financial transaction File a case Electronic crime Mr.Sfakianakis Let the Interpol do the rest.

Names Addresses Copy of the add in this forum Copies of pm's and e-mails Copy of financial transaction File a case Electronic crime Mr.Sfakianakis Let the Interpol do the rest. I am afraid it is not that simple Tasos. The fraud is unsubstantiated. There is no official electronic transaction crime ( on paper at least ). Vangelis ( Kintaro ) paid with the "friends and family" option. This is not an electronic sale. As a lawyer would say, private messages and e-mails and the rest, are a STRONG indication, but not proof of a crime ( fraud ). We are all extremely willing to help, but facts are facts, and Kintaro's action to send money this way, was catastrophic. The cheap scum bug, exposed himself for pocket change. He is not only a thief, he is a cheap thief and an idiot.
February 4, 201510 yr if this is the same guy hes on ocuk forum all the time. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/member.php?u=75490
February 5, 201510 yr Wow. Last online today. I think I need to PM an admin. I don't have trading post access there, do you? If you do, is he "selling" anything there?
February 5, 201510 yr I have access on the MM @ ocuk, i shall contact an admin there and direct them to this thread and dutch you have PM
February 5, 201510 yr Wow. Last online today. I think I need to PM an admin. I don't have trading post access there, do you? If you do, is he "selling" anything there? yeah he is currently selling a pump, a couple of rads , a heatsinks and some water blocks. he has also got 3 positive feedback on the OCUK trust system although i cant read it. Edited February 5, 201510 yr by Jumper118
February 5, 201510 yr He has 18 positive feedback on another forum and all of the buyers seem happy. It's a shame that he decided to do this to himself. I know someone who knows the admin of OcUK so he won't be selling for much longer. I shall follow up on your PM too, Nick.
February 5, 201510 yr i'd like to thank all mates that try to help me out. i apply for a ''questioned'' at my bank and they informed me that they may have a result in aprox. 20 days.
February 5, 201510 yr Folks, Not trying to be a smartass, but the lesson here is that when money changes hands, DONT TRUST YOUR MOTHER.
February 5, 201510 yr Recent eBay feedback for him is a bit shabby. I'll try and get the word spread around as many forums as I can.
February 5, 201510 yr Another two forums have been notified with thanks to Gavin and Nick for the assistance. Thank you, Lewis. Dewi showed me his recent eBay sales and his recent feedback suggests that he hasn't sent any of the goods. Utterly appalling.
February 15, 201510 yr Crew I can't find trace of him at all online anymore, he hasn't surfaced anywhere! Total scum in all honesty!
February 16, 201510 yr Yes but the mods are in disscussions there over this matter, if any infomation is required i shall be in touch.
February 28, 201510 yr It seems he is trading on eBay again under yet another alias. Have we got any news from the bank?
May 16, 201510 yr finaly on 4/4/15 i get my chargeback from the below menntion scammer and thats the end of story. i'm just wondering why mods has not ban him yet? Edited May 16, 201510 yr by kintaro
May 16, 201510 yr We were waiting on your reply to see what happened with your money. I'm so glad that you got your money back. Now, it's time to swing the ban hammer and send him to oblivion!
May 16, 201510 yr this guy was selling this board the other day on ebay. i was watching it! he aid it didn't work and he even sent me a picture of the socket when i asked. not sure whether i am allowed to post the link but the item number on ebay was 141666356183
May 16, 201510 yr I'm confused as to why it is now listed in USD. He lives in Bilston, or very near to it. That's also a different board. Let me have a word with the powers above me and get this resolved. In any case, this can now be closed. Anthony shall no longer be with us.
