this is a long shot, probably wont get any results but i can always hope.

gf found a galaxy s3 on gumtree cheap, problem was it was in albany. seller was happy to post and since sending the money over on tuesday, havent heard a word from him and wont reply to any messages or calls.

pingpingpingpings name is daniel wiers (supposedly) and his numbers 0415160461. could be a fake name and might not even be in albany at all. but the way i see it, he posted on gumtree so he must have been expecting people to come pick it up, and maybe took advantage of the situation presented to him

cheers for any help

[_S9_]

10mins since first post and no standard "pics of missus" posts?

You're all slipping.

[blackjack]

Paid via? You can reverse bank & Paypal payments.

[kyle_340]

this was a direct deposit, no way of getting money back :(

and missus has a 180 and knows lots of people on different forums, anything i posted would get back to her and eventually lead to my face getting kicked in

hoping someone might know this guy in albany so we can make a trip down to him

Do not see an issue here :p

[Damo 69]

Your Missus will kick your ass?

[mr_mike]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA just how dumb is your missus?
Its posted all over gumtree not to do shit like this.
Lesson learnt, your not gonna get a result you want. Move on.

[EVLO]

bit pingpingpingpingy there Mike...

[RICEY]

Is Mike's last name Hunt?

[thrtytwo]

Unfortunately Mikes probably right. Lesson learned, next time exchange cash for goods, or use a third party payment system that can be refunded.

[Brockas]

Messaged the guy to see if it's still available and if I can come pick it up. No response yet.

yep i was gonna do the same thing when i get back to aus next week, but from the sounds of things his numbers been disconnected

[EVLO]

asked a mate who lives in albany if he knows a Daniel Wiers. Surely everyone in Albany knows all 40 people in town...

Congrats on your first post that hasn't been about how awesome bikes are.

To the op might be worth a shot of contacting the bank and swing if you can find out if this Daniel guys bsb is an Albany bank. Might help track him down if you really feel you want to. Not much but it's a start

gfs boss checked the bsb and its apparently for a prepaid credit card or some shit

[mr_mike]

just out of interest what sort of $ figure are you talking?

[kyle_340]

$280. not a life changing amount but it would still be nice to get either the money or the phone back

[180SXTCY]

sounds like a pro scammer having a prepaid cresit cars.

hope you find the pingpingpingping.

[1JZVL]

gf found a galaxy s3 on gumtree cheap.

blame your gf :P

[KAL SPL]

That name sounds familiar for some reason for related other scams.

[[FL0SSIN]]

280 bucks? You'd use that in fuel driving down there ... Personally I'd scour gum tree for cheap lumbar, build a little bridge and carry on with my life, your misses needs to be a little less nieve... Treat every one like they're gonna rip you off on gum tree!

[-Luke-]

Ive got a nice bridge for sale,your missus could buy that off me for a very reasonable price and charge people to use it. She'll make her money back in no time. I take cheques please make them out to Mr C.Ash.

If you find something you like on gumtree interstate/non metro area and want to be protected see if the seller will list the item on ebay and pay via paypal.

Don't need eBay. Send payment as goods/services on PayPal and you're protected anyway. Just don't send it as gift. EVER.

saved my bacon many many times when things have gone "missing" (seller claims post misplaced it, post office has no records of it).

[-Luke-]

Always use your cc via paypal for online transactions.it gives you a second failsafe if paypal dont want to help.

[S85FI]

Not sure how secure PayPal is meant to be but a few weeks ago I went to use the trusty plastic and it bounced. Shock horror and here I am telling the person 'there is money in the account'

Used efpos instead and called bank.

Some 2000 paypal accounts were hacked. Banks were waiting for people to contact them for real deal people making enquiries. Something to do with how they set up their security for the cards. Ends up being a paypal employee that sold off credit card details.

Bank sends new card with completely different numbers. Happy days. Continue shopping.

*Edit. Changed cars for card. Thanks 4slide.*

Didnt know the bank gave out cars!

[TJ]

Have you not watched deal or no deal?

Banker always has one on offer!

[ReaperSS]

Unless the seller is in Perth i would never bother with it and even is a buyer is in a different state they can go get farked.
I had an ad on gumtree for a video camera and had half of India wanting me to send it to melborne. scamming pingpingpingpings

i dont see anything wrong with that. as long as they are prepared to send you the money upfront (bank transfer, money order, bank cheque).

but yes, generally, gumtree should be transacted only face to face.

u mean like the op's GF did?

[sensei_]

As a seller I couldn't care less who and how the transaction was completed as long as I had the cash in hand (ie. bank transfer, money order - something that they cannot reverse)

As a buyer I would only transact face to face.

pingpingpingpings still at it. could someone message him and try to get an address? i dont get back till sunday

[kyle_340]

apparently his names daniel sullivan and the pingpingpingping lives in Queensland...any idea of the next step to take?

[HANS YOLO]

call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' niggers, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass

......but in reality, not much you can do

[mr_mike]

chasing someone that lives on other side of the country for $280, shit situation but i'd just chalk this one up to experience and let it be.

[kyle_340]

yeh i know theres no chances of getting the money back. what pisses me off is its probably some junkie fuck with no job thats done this to hundreds of people

[mr_mike]

more like some middle class teenager thats bored and wants some extra $$ for new graphics card. If it was a junkie they would of just robbed someone/place

[sensei_]

......but in reality, not much you can do

Sad but true. Just like my hit and run case. The police are not going to investigate for $280. And it will be chalked up as a learning experience.

[Evoboycorey]

missus has an older brother who lives in queensland. will get her to ask when i get home.

[shifted]

tried to send an email through gumtree interested in the phone - won't send through. does that mean the person is only contactable via phone?

[mr_mike]

yeah i hear Queensland is pretty small and everyone knows each other

[mattmy99]

I'm in QLD at the moment.
I asked a guy. He didn't know who was phone.

[1JZNOSHIT]

I like how his ad says he will not respond to scammers :)

[180SXTCY]

Don't know if possible or not but maybe msg him asking for the IMEI number and then use that to track the location of phone?

[huggy_b]

Considered ringing the police in qld?

[Brett_J]

The ad says Albany for pickup only, why not go down for a drive?

[kyle_340]

im gonna guess he either doesnt respond to people wanting to pick up or just says the phones sold. the bsb is for a pre paid credit card sold at an australia post in QLD

[Mike Hunt]

I got done recently for some Liverpool tickets.. pingpingpingping used a prepaid card from QLD. Learnt lesson..

Then got contacted by someone else who got done by him too. Said his name was James, and was pickup only from Echuca in Vic - out of the way (like Albany).

Anyhow, see details of his BSB from transaction:

BSB Number 880-100
Bank Code: 88 | State code: 0 | Branch code: 100
Institution Heritage Building Society Limited
Branch Name Australia Post Prepaid Cards
Street Address 400 Ruthven St
Suburb Toowoomba
State QLD
Postcode 4350

[kyle_340]

do they need details when selling a card like that? might be worth giving that post office a call and talking to them about it

[Fukushima]

perhaps if you are a bit wary it'd be best to google the BSB before you go paying the monies?


like the time I sent money to that brockas guy

[ossie_21]

Get someone to contact him saying they are in Albany and keen to pick up ASAP. When/if he says its sold or whatever, get someone else to contact him asking if he could post it to Perth. If its all of a sudden available again you've got something to work with

[S85FI]

Probably monitors forums to know his traps.

I just read that iPhone gumtree ad and there's a photo of the phone with IMEI number shown?
imei:013035007084313

[EVLO]

$5,000,000 zimbabwe dollars that there is and has never been an actual phone for sale...

[180SXTCY]

well if that is the right IMEI file a police report and they might be able to track the location of him?

[shifted]

who posts an advert displaying a real IMEI?
