Hey guys,

Just wondering as to what I should do if I have gotten scammed on seabreeze?
Quick Break Down:

A while ago I posted a thread stating that I am new to kiting and would like some advice from more experienced members.
About an hour later I was contacted by a bloke selling a board. We agreed on a price and I sent over the money via bank transfer.
He said it was all good and would dispatch it once the payment cleared. It it now Thursday, 6 days since the payment cleared and still no word from him.
I have contacted him several times but no luck.
I have his name, number, facebook page and email address. and i know what region he lives in

Cheers

What happened? Did you read "Heavy Weather" expecting mature, balanced, reasoned lines of debate?

Contact him by facebook, seabreeze & email, give him say 48hrs to make contact or be named & shamed.

Some people genuinely work remote locations etc.

After that post it all here.

Most scammers wouldn't bother with a fake facebook, email, seabreeze a/c just for one 2nd hand sale- so at this stage he's probably just lazy/poor communicator.

I always sell using Aussie post COD. That way the purchasers practically have the item in their hands before they pay.

hope it all works out for the best, give us an update on progress...
