Breightmet Boy Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 got scammed Wednesday night by a well known lad by Adidas lads on Twitter. I paid for two pairs of trainers, £245 and since found out 5 others were scammed too. We know he lives in Exeter, because he sent some trainers from there in the past, weve then found a James Andrews lives a few streets away from the Post Office he sent them from. His Twitter account is disabled, but his Paypal is still open, ive been onto them and my bank to try and stop the payments transferring but was too late. Hes obviously not answering his email. What do the sleuths of Wanderers ways think of the best way forward? Its not just the bank balance, its my trust in folk thats been damaged.

kent_white Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Is there any way we can just all pretend we're interested and then pull out just at the last minute. Just to piss him off as much as anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 If he's sold then he might also have bought, have you asked on all the groups etc to see if anyone has his definite address ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athywhite1958 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Talking of Twitter scams, I was looking at Adidas trainers on the Man Savings app on Twitter, next thing my bank text saying they had declined payment of £299.99 to Asos, this is who the Man Savings app takes you to, I only looked and nearly lost £300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
