help, i've been scammed

[Raptor]

get the details in VIP

[DrEdDy]

Right,

Send the women a message via ebay... more or less.



Send that, see what the response is - to rule out the single possibility that she is genuine.

The name you gave me and the addy check out, you would be thick as fu(k to do a scam and then send it to your own address. Wouldnt be the most suprising thing tho.

Let us know if she replies back...

thanks, just emailed her, will wait for a response and let you know.

if i had the money to pay for vip i would do it straight away, im short of cash thats why i sold my ps3, sorry.

Gonna keep a tab on the package tracking, not 100% if RM shows who it was signed by... some courriers do.

Friend of mine drives through london most nights so going to try and get him to go past the address tonight, see what kinda place it it - flats, independant doors, buzzer system etc etc.

No point doing anything till you know its arrived and are a million percent its a scammer.

The money is good as gone, paypal are fuckers, just need to get that ps3 back now.

Thanks for that, i believe after 72 hours an electronic signature is available to view online, so i'll keep checking too, thanks everyone, you're all a great help.

I sent messages to the others that he bought from in the hope they don't get ripped off.

[DrEdDy]

Just got email response back:
"hi XXXXX,

If you paid for Special Delivery you are insured by Royal Mail and are compensated for upto £2,500.

Contact royal mail with the tracking number, explain what time it was sent and tell them you have feel victim to fraudulant activity. If you show them you sent the package (with the slip they gave you) they should be able to stop the delivery and return to sender!

Needs to be done ASAP. They would rather do that than compensate you!!

Check here for details -

Remember, the more you kick up a stink, the more likely things happen!

Also, PM me the details of the address you sent it to. I know a few 'heavy hands' near Manor Park (Bouncers) that'll love the excuse to go knocking should all else fail!

[ant3b]

Special delivery has compensation so make sure you get in touch with royal mail you never know they coudl stop it .??

[Spennyboy]

I very much doubt RM will do a single thing.

He went into post office, ask for it to be sent, and it was delivered.

At which point are RM at fault?

As for the reply message... Time to get dectective

[DrEdDy]

Royal mail cant do anything, contacted them already, once its been sent theres no way to stop it, i think the compensation only covers delays and damages to the item, not actually covers the item for fraud etc.

[DejaVu]

So it was delivered Special and got there 9am this morning?

[DrEdDy]

special deliveryby today, i didnt specify a time, website states it may or may not have been delivered yet.

[gatch.]

if you dont specify a time its usually before 12.

[DrEdDy]

if you dont specify a time its usually before 12.

"Your item has reached the delivery office and is out for delivery.
We can confirm that your item left the delivery office this morning and should arrive shortly if it hasn’t been delivered already." thats the message from royal mail website.

[rmj2663]

Normal Spec Del is guaranteed before 1pm,
but is very often a lot earlier, signature is not usually available for a couple of days, just the fact that it has been signed for.

[DejaVu]

If you didnt specify a time, the delivery is more than likely going to take place around 1pm.

Surely RM can contact the driver/sorting depot to withdraw the delivery. Especially as it's a fradulent activity.

I know with TNT and CityLink, if you are the original sender they contact the courier and tell them not to post the item. Royal Mail must have someort of similar policy, especially as you are using their 'special' service!

You might get lucky and it dont get signed for (person at work) you maybe able to recall it then if the 'special delivery' hasnt been adhered too. It will return to the sorting office near Manor park and you can call them directly. (Ask RM Customer Service to be put through)

Alrready contacted royal mail, twice, theres absolutely nothing they can do, once its left the delivery office its out of their hands, i personally wouldve thought all drivers carried a mobile, but obviously not.
