Advised another 3 or 4 from FB who contacted me to join here. Should be more incoming info soon, although we probably won’t be shocked!

Amazing mate, glad we as a community are standing up together.

Still more people coming forward this morning on FB. Lots now mentioning this thread too so obviously gaining momentum. I’m glad I got the cash back, same for @prowla and a couple of others but as it’s showing still loads more out there, some going back a long time! Keep up the good work all

Thanks for that, it does mean a lot. It’s been a pretty awful time, the support from everyone on here, the Admin guys and chatting with @prowla helped loads, that’s why we are a strong community that sticks together. It was never about the money, I don’t ‘need’ it but it’s the principle of it all, it’s something I was brought up to believe in, what’s right and wrong! Im not gonna say too much for obvious reasons but a huge thanks to everyone on here ( nice to actually chat with @ped for about 40 mins today) and people on FB who reached out and backed up everything I’d already found out and who are/will be going through the same thing. I would imagine that this is going to run for some time and I’m sure there will be a resolution. Anyone has any questions feel free to PM me, let’s keep this clear for people who are in the same boat. I’m happy to help if I can. Please let it be known I don’t condone any physical harm or threats towards him, his friends or his family, that’s not what we are all about, we are all better than that. Please remember this is thread available to one and all on the inter webs 🤘 Happy Xmas all

I mainly use finger style. Even for Foos tribute. Joined a Nirvana one too, tried fingers but sounded too nice, used a pick and now I do for Foos too. It just attacks better and gets ‘that sound’. If it’s right it’s right! BTW Lounge Act is a tune!!

Bought my Cioks back from Bas for a band mate. Perfect again and as usual. Cheers dude

Bought some strings from Lozz, I paid and they turned up super quick and spot on. Awesome stuff dude

*** UPDATE*** I have received my money in FULL this morning. I have been asked to speak to the ADMIN about having the thread removed/frozen, which I have done. Thanks All

Ok, so he has just messaged me to say he’s with the Police but they want to talk to me? I’ve happily given my mobile number to him.

I spoke to them last night. They are awaiting contact from Action Fraud before they continue.

Absolutely agree 100% A lot of sites would’ve just blanketed it and not allowed comments for potential ramifications but @ped has played a blinder. Kudos to him

More people messaging me about this on FB who are also victims of this , seems like we are way into double figures now.

Welcome mate. As I said on FB this place is great, this topic is .1% of what happens! Ill be in touch should I need anything man

So, he said he's happy to wait for the Police. So be it

Yeah I wasn't going to put it on FB groups but I have today. There are a lot of musicians who have been in touch about unpaid fees for gigs too. So as well as the gear he doesn't sent or refund, gigs aren't being paid for. This guy runs a fairly large organisation and needs to be stopped.

Yup even I’m not blocked. You must be too mean

Yeah I am talking to him on Facebook. My claim is in with Action Fraud along with the bank. I am happy to put together a joint case/claim with anyone who has been ripped off by the 'man'. Seeing as he is a moderator on some FB groups ( unreal isn't it) and also has friends in others I suggest that people are wary about what they post on there, just make sure it is factually correct to cover your derrière. I have blocked him on Facebook as of this morning so it will all go through bank etc.now. I don't even care about the money, just getting this bloke out of the loop and make him realise that what he is doing is not cool.

And someone else this morning coming forward.

So, shocker of shockers! I’ve not been paid so I’ll be pursuing the legal approach I started the other day. I’ll keep you all in the loop of what I can. Cheers all.

Nope, I’ve copies of all messages too mate so nothing to fear. Absolutely no lies have been told and you will be fine. No refund as of yet

Nope I have received nothing BUT he did PROMISE it would be paid today. 7th times a charm. There were also at least 3 others who tried to do similar on FB in the groups it was listed it but MM had them taken down and said he’s sue for slander

I wonder if I’ll get mine as promised today. Surely he won’t let both of us down 😂
