I was contacted by a fellow Ian Clive using Marks Parts address in London UK regarding my WTB 9315 links listing. As it was a small amount under $200 I did minimal due diligence ,BIG mistake as Western Union seems to be aware of this potential scammer.I will be contacting the UK Police and hopefully this piece of Dog $hit be dealt with.I’ve done 103 transactions since I started this hobby and this is the first time I’ve not gotten what I paid for.So as the saying goes one out of a hundred are thieves ,statistically that seems about right.Beware of this maggot.

raw deal patrick, sorry to hear. he'll he gets what he deserves.

I am a current WTBer, and a newbie at that. I imagine *ssholes like this make it hard for legit sellers here to want to sell to those of us without a reputation yet. this seems like a respectable place. I wish there was a way to screen potential thieves, and keep their sorry *sses on ebay.

Nope he was to send a tracking number two days ago but he seems to have disappeared.

He said he was just looking at the site but not a member yet.I know I was a little too casual in my DD

.I had sold a watch to another fellow recently who wasn't a member as he got my email from the sale section as well so I was probably overly confident on this small dealing.Biggest pi$$ off is I still need the links and now I need to try and buy them again

EvEr34 · 27 January 2011, 09:15 AM

rats roam everywhere!! Getting worse and worse if you ask me. I'm sad to say that in my day to day dealings, it has become increasingly hard to trust anyone on their word. It is sad when you think of it. Anyways...lesson learned I guess.

Not good, especially using Western Union....Not much can be done to trace this unfortunately.
Have you tried calling him?? Or is the number bogus??

The guy's name itself would have thrown up flags for me, and I would have searched it out,address and all!

I hope things still may work out for you in the end....

Again sorry to hear this and thanks for posting the contact info. It will be a lesson learned for you and the rest of us here. Fortunately not a big loss. I can pm you a recommendation for 9315 links.

Western Union says they have all his info.on file name address phone and he appears to be known to them.Tomorrow the Police in UK and Canada will be notified and they will have access to his file, as well Visa(I used it to transfer funds) Fraud also has been notified and they will be looking into him.

I would suspect it's bogus info, but truely hope it's not for your sake!!

Make sure to report with the police as you said....

Bad deal, Patrick. I hope law enforcement catches this piece of dog $hit and throw him in jail for a good while.

Wow - learned lesson here. May be in the future, we do not wait to get scammed to send out warnings...

Patrick, sorry about this!

TimeToGo: I typically post something when someone tries to scam me, did not want to bad mouth "Ian Clive" without a solid proof.
(especially after my infamous thread; btw, thanks for lightening the mood there with Root canal comment)

You are contradicting yourself. Even in your comment "he tried to scam me."

My understanding is "Ian" is not even a member on the forum.

Don't worry about your infamous thread, time to move on...

Welshwatchman · 28 January 2011, 12:22 AM

So the person who scammed you was not an established member here.

So you didn't get scammed here then. You got scammed by someone who has a computer somewhere.

It's good that Western Union know he's a bad 'un though.

It means that they should refund you as they admit knowing that they were passing money to a known criminal.

Established member ? I have no idea but presume not. Scammed here from my email address in my WTB listing yes.The somewhere is London and yes it was via computer.I will have to wait and see how it plays out on a refund but I’m not optimistic.I posted this to alert others as this person seemingly scams for nickels and dimes, really a pathetic existence for him.He either lacks the ambition or intelligence to really make his crimes pay

.At lot of risk for the potential payoff. I think this type of scammer is more dangerous than big money scammers as this type of petty scam is the least expected.

beowulf566 · 28 January 2011, 04:07 AM

this "Ian Clive" sent me an e-mail from my want to buy add as well. I could not find him as a member here and ignored the e-mail. He also tried to sell me "parts" and the add was for a complete watch. Anyone can google info about rolex and get to threads from here. It just makes me more sure to check with members here before making any moves.

Sometimes my frustration takes precedent over my rational thought process. It has been one calamity after another trying to get four folded links so he got me at a point of maximum frustration.I feel pity for him as he is a lousy crook with low expectations, probably a pickpocket going up scale.

I understand and sorry it happened to you. Hope you find the links you need.

IslandReactorFreek · 2 February 2011, 09:56 AM

Vitually the exact thing happened to me. SAme name and schtick...

Rickster · 2 February 2011, 01:35 PM

I've owned a retail store and an online store. I have been scammed in the past. I feel the real crooks are credit card companies and in this case Western Union. Its baloney that people can use their services to rip you off. So what is Western unions excuse for not having the guys proper name and address? Let me guess they blamed you? pfff... thats a joke.

Sorry about your deal but until the gov comes in and makes these companies responsible for this neglect on THEIR part its going to continue to happen its just too easy to do.
