Good evening,
Apologies that this is a slightly random one.
But myself and several other people have recently been ripped off by a guy calling himself James Ball on another UK forum. He was a member for quite some time, built up some positive feedback, and then made a series of sales requesting payment by bank transfer, before disappearing and no longer replying to emails.
Upon looking into this we found a James Ball username had previously done something similar to members on here. We were wondering whether any members on here currently were involved/had any luck recovering money or finding any more info about this guy.
Any help great appreciated.
Cheers
Lucky22

There is some mention in the buyer/seller feedback.

That was the thread we had come across already. Using another James Ball email address different to the one he used with us.
Did he ever come back to the forum? |

It looks like he hasn't returned since 2019 according to the thread above.
Based on the posts in there and this new thread, I banned the old account.
If he has a new account I do not know but please post the new email address here so I can check the site registration listing. _________________ How to Post Photos

He seems to use:
[email protected]
[email protected]
and [email protected]
If any of your members bought or sold to him it would be useful to know if they had any records of it, delivery addresses etc. |

The 3rd one is his email on the other account above.
The other were not used for accounts on the site but I banned them so no account can be created.
All 3 were never used to contact any sellers on the site through their ads.
This means he never tried to buy anything through ads here, at least by email and from those 3 email addresses _________________ How to Post Photos
