Hi all,
YET ANOTHER been ripped off by this fraudster! I too paid £334 + P&P for 2 Take That tickets at the NEC in Birmingham on 17th Nov that have not arrived. I tried emailing bloody endless times before and phoned 6times most days too. I too have sent and had replies from Ebay and Paypal but as I was outside the 45/60 day process have had to go to my CC Company who say they WILL refund me upon completion of a form I`ve just received and will be in my account with 1mth. However, I too don`t want to stop there and won`t let this piece of twisted scum have the satisfaction of thinking she`s got away with it while she sits on her arse lapping it up on a bloody cruise!
She should feel the FULL force of the law and the law should have long enough arms to drag her back to the UK and face the consequences (failing that, being put in a room with all the people she has ripped off for 10 minutes!). I am today going to call Hull Police to take out an incident number to give to my CC Company. They said that hell or high water (that`ll be her) they will retreave their monies from this sick individual.
Do let me know any further developments but the very best of good luck to ALL you unfortunate people who have been done by this sick, sick piece of scum that should not be allowed to live in any society!

Ask the bank for the cheque back, I have a feeling that it may have been altered and paid into a different account, ie A Shepherd, if it has then and you did not make the alteration, then the cheque was not valid and the bank should give you the money back with out too much fuss.

Also altering a cheque is also against the law, so its another offence comitted, that the police may be able to trace the offenders easier and less chance of them getting off, ie more to charge them with and more proof that they intended the scam from the start.

Let me know what happens please.

i'm guessing if you contact your bank, they should be able to find out where the money actually went

i'm guessing that Stephanies only course of action would be the small claims court

form is here: - http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/courtfinder/forms/n1_0102.pdf and I'm confident that using the address you sent the cheque too is enough to get the action moving

That may work if they hadnt moved on with out a forwarding address, even the police say they cant trace them, at this stage it would be a waste of money doing a claim through the courts.

Claiming off the bank is the best bet at the moment.

You should also inform the police and trading standards, as you could get info quicker through these two places.

its important that anyone who hasnt already contacted hull police, does so.

i spoke to a guy there today who said they have had 15 reports on her and rising. the more, the better.

it turns out that she has scammed someone in the police (inteligence if i recall). this is good news as you can imagine.....in a round-about way.

Hi ALL again,
I spoke to Hull Police yesterday and got my own log - 314 27/11/2007. I also spoke to PC West from the investigation team (Tim Mitchell was out yesterday) and yes I was also told he knew of a DC in Gloucester who had been done by this fraudster and he was making some leads into it also. This should at least get a bit of weight behind the case as it builds. Also made aware that it won`t be a 5 minute fix so in the meantime if you can make settlement with either your Bank or CC Company, suggest you exercise that route first if you are needing you cash back sooner rather than later. But lets at least hope they close the net aroung this sicko soon and see some real justice followed through!

Just been told by my bank that they can't help as more than 120 days has passed and this is outside the visa claimback time limit.

Anyone out there give me any advice as to whether to pursue further with them ?

Paypal have also advised me that they are investigating along with other claims,but I'm not hopeful there either.

Running out of options to get my money back and feeling a bit cut adrift.
