It is, however, missing a conclusion!

Can you update at some point in the future so we know if they guy got his comeuppance?

I don't see why the topic should be closed. Whenever someone came up with something like "lets order him lots of take away food" everyone was sensible about it and nothing nasty or illegal has been done. A good, fair, non threatning letter has been delivered and im sure everyone reading the topic is now waiting for the results to see if the scammer does indeed gives the foglight or the money back.

We have no problem in the OP updating us once the matter is resolved, none whatsoever, but the time was right to wrap this particular thread up before it got out of hand.

Paul made the right decision to lock the thread, otherwise it would be a nightmare keeping up with the increasingly threatening suggestions on there that I didn't condone.

I hope to be able to post the outcome of this matter on here, then maybe Paul can just cut it in to the original thread - hopefully it'll be a happy ending.

In the meantime I'd just like to thank all of you for your support, particularly Funk and Xlifts

Hey Rich,
No worries i think Paul made a difficult but fair decision on this one.

If you need any info that i can gain from HMRC let me know hope all turns out well.


Well done to THE MODS top job as always!

How about you stop bothering me with your threats..! if you send out broken fog lights...two broken brackets one completely broken fog light and one with a broken lense that i haven't claimed for...yet..! expect a claim for a refund.. sell what your advertising or expect a claim....if you send out things that are not as described...expect a claim..simple..!
So you pay for the postage and refund my money in full...! an stop wasting everyones time
By the way the chap across the way, has not taken to kindly to you posting his car on your forum and holds you entirely responsible for any damage caused to his car, just to let you know he is a scaffolder..? so hurry up.. stop your little crusade get your facts write and refund my money soon before you end up out of pocket.

What a toerag, I haven't even threatened him - just asked for my foglight or money back. Also, if both foglights were broken then why didn't he try claiming for both in the first place?

Is nobody (or specifically Sniff Diesel) concerned that the scammer has SD's address, and while he's a couple of hundred miles away, he could employ the same tactics used against him?

I'd suggest the evidence is stacked against him.

Issue a county court claim against him, okay you'll have to fork out in the beginning, but it's the principle.

A delicious thread.

An innocuous start, building to a crescendo over the first 14 pages. Great stuff, and my vote for thread of the year.
