To be fair that's normally the case with me, but I've completed two transactions in the space of a week to the tune of £320, and I've sent a further £250 today to another member who isn't very well established. The first two items arrived within days, and I'm more than confident the last item will turn up next week  Half the time people get scammed, they don't get a mobile number, never mind a landline, address and bank details!

This may be a stupid idea... What if when a for sale thread is made, the seller has to pass the relevent details on to a moderator (Full name, address, landline number)? Failure to do so resulting in the thread being locked until they pass it on? It seems that there are a few frequent sellers as well, and I'm sure Ian's talented enough to make a database with all the information stored, so the info only has to be passed on once. Naturally that'll take quite a bit of moderating which is probably why it won't work but it's a mere suggestion
Edit: Obviously that won't stop scamming altogether. But it'll help for the idiots who don't bother to get any information at all and lay it all on Ian to perform a miracle and get their money back.

Don't really see why people can't get the information themselves.
(edit - I would like to help and the database thing is a good call but I only ever really want to assist people - not replace them looking after themselves)

I was just looking through the wanted section, it seems he has a lot that people want. I really think a dispute should be opened in the dispute section, we need to find out how much money he has had off people.

I have an address aswell as multiple numbers and reg plates of cars he has owned, which could be linked to an address to confirm, I can't just go giving out addresses though.
