Some of you will remember this lad that was scamming everyone around 18 months ago. Check my old project thread. He got banned.
http://corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=429161&page=2
About half way down.
Well a lad on here was selling me a bootlid (*whitegsi*), and was from the same location (Waxholme, Hull). I smelt a rat and contacted Ian, and it's the same user on a new account. Dunno whether he's been banned or what but all his for sale threads have gone now.
Just warning you all incase he tries to strike again! lol
He's sold some decent stuff lately by the looks of things and got good feedback but I'm stuffed if I'm giving him the satisfaction of taking money from me twice! In the end I removed the mountains of filler from the slabs I bought and sold them for £50! Lost £120!

He is not banned, Idle time is 7 secs so he is still on here. But has that horrible red writing under his name.

Ahh right I see. Even if he is genuine though, he doesn't deserve privileges of selling things on here under a new name because of scamming in the past!

Yeah thats what I thought, because new members aren't aware of these things, like I wasn't. It isn't a nice feeling, and gives corsasport a bad rep! I was jubious of buying off here for a while after!

He's done the decent thing and deleted all the for sale threads himself, check the trash can.

Which may indicate that he intends to register another account to go around again.

He also has loads of good feedback in the good trades thread, which may indicate that that was a one off.

I said it might be a 1 off, but the fact that he has scammed before means that he shouldn't be allowed to trade IMO TBH

What were the other disputes? The other account doesn't have the message which probably means they weren't reported to me.

I'm sure there was a dispute thread about him, can't find it now though. I'm pretty sure it was something to do with a courier...

If I remember rightly it wasn't in disputes, it was just in General chat, but alot of people were complaining about him at the time.

I hope he doesn't come back on as another name, or I'll have to sniff him out and rumble him again! lol,
When I phoned him about collecting the bootlid I asked if he had sold some cav GSi wheels about 18 months ago, he was like oh no mate, I've been on there since August. So I told him the tale about corsa333. he must of been p***ing himself at me!

Pretty sure Jezza (my brother) had problems with him! He bought a supposedly mint condition arden blue bonnt off him, turned up dented scratched bent and general knackered. I *think* he only got half his money back in the end!
