Never hurts to call and talk to Police. You should file a complaint here and try reaching someone.

Good luck!

Check out street view on Google Maps for a good chuckle.

Is this the infamous "Trotter" and his independent trading company?

808.3 Well up market for Del Boy.

Hector

Don't know if it's just trying to drum up business by scaremongering or if it's genuine but, according to this website, that postcode has been targeted for identity theft.

I reported the 808.3 to AudioGon as suspicious, and it appears to have gone.

Update on my situation...

Well I told my bank to "recall" the electronically wired transfer on Thursday January the 8th and got a message from them the next day on the 9th that the US bank had indeed received the request for the "recall".

Today Thursday the 15th late in the afternoon after 6 business days, I get a phone call from my bank telling me that the US bank cannot contact or as not heard back from the person receiving the money so technically it is bad news for me... My money/deposit is gone!

One of the lessons I have learned is that the Canadian and American banking system sucks big time! How can an electronic message to another bank to "withhold" money or stop the delivery of a wired transfer take so long to be acted upon?

Really 6 business days? Never again am I transferring money electronically especially to someone on the Internet.

Bad news although doesn't surprise me. It once took over 3 months for me to get paid by an Americian bank.

Maybe if you had told the bank that they had recently returned fron Syria they would have acted a bit quicker and the scammer would be currently sunning themselves in Guantanamo Bay

Suspect listing just appeared on eBay for a pair of DSP8000 speakers could be a scam, the pictures used are exactly the same as ones used late last year for a pair listed in Leeds on eBay.

I made a cash offer to collect them etc, I was told no collection and bank transfer only, I may be wrong but it makes me very suspicious, don't want anyone to be taken in.

Yep these have been on eBay before and that was a scam
If you look there are red stickers showing 115V .. unlikely in UK

I tried to report them but the eBay form wouldn't accept the correct item number. Very helpful...not.

I reported the DSP8000s to eBay this morning. I've just checked and they seem to have been removed.

Hi all

After many years of admiring my 5200s my mate is in the market for a used pair of DSPs. He is looking at these eBay 7200 however, I think the price may be too good to be true.

The eBay seller has 0 feedback, is a new member, and wants to be paid by bank transfer. I've contacted him separately and offered to collect in a van from Stornoway and heard nothing back. Has anyone seen these pictures in an eBay advert before or indeed been in contact with the seller themselves?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Daniel
