yesterday i bank in money to this person's (noobboy83@ real name- NGAI ZHING HERR) account after we agreed for a trade, but until now he gve me no response after i ask him for the tracking no. i might be cheated for $$. should i directly report to police station or make a report to badminton central admin first?
Police does not care about this, this is your problem. You sound like a very very young person. Do not buy from strangers online. Accept this, learn from this, move on.
yes i know. but its not wrong to get rid out this kind of people keep on being a scam. there are still some new n regular member in this forum who wish to buy things trough bc forum and willing to post the item. you are right.. i learn from this but at least there is no next person doing the same mistake as i did.. JUST BE AWARE..BECAREFUL
Oh, u buy the VT 70 from him? May be he yet to notice your post here, his last active was ard 7.00 am today. Anyway, hate people that never response after people made payment.
e_slow07- yah.. i buy voltric70 from him. i can call him but he doesn't want to pick up his phone. n no response on msg. u knew him?
i wait for the racket.. if he really sent the racket yesterday then should be arrive by today or tomorrow..if nothing then i'll make a police report.
No, i dont know him, just that i also check with him on the price for his VT70. Last active can be seen from his profile.
This type of thing is risk involved. Thats why i never deal rackets oversea. I always state it in Spore (Central) deal, if not i rather not not/sell the racket!
1st. don't clear your inbox. keep the PMs conversations with him. one of the proofs if you make police report.
yes.. this is what i learn. i wish i could have that alert kind of taught before buying things from anyone.
I would suggest that the admin on this forum consider putting a restriction on who can post in the buying/selling forum to help clean up and protect against such scams. Over the years I've seen so many new members sign up on here simply to sell a racquet. Although I appreciate it's not really BC's problem as they have no affliation with the sale, it would however be far more beneficial and appreciable if say only members with at least 100 valid posts are allowed to use the buying/selling forum. I know of a few forums that already have similar systems in place. Also, some forums have a rule whereby the seller must show a photo of the exact item with a handwritten note stating their forum name and date for authenticity of the photo. Obviously it will not deter all scammers but it may just go a little way to filter out some of them.
In response to the OP's question, I would take it further. Why should they get away with it? First keep a diary of all the conversations you've had, time date, what he said etc. Gather all legit information about that person, IP address, if there is a number or email report it to the network provider etc. Keep a copy of advert as it may be taken down. Essentially gather and keep all evidence you can get. In the UK we have fair trade legislations and advice bureaus whom we can direct these questions to, the Police may be able to help or at least refer you to an organisation that can. If you did a bank transfer you ought to speak to you bank as they may be able to "fight your corner" for you and get your money back.
Please beware of "Noobboy83". he is new member in this bc forum. he refuse to send me the racket. So its my really bad luck this time.
