Dazed Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The address is actually Bolton not Mcr if it's the person in question. Have you taken this to the Police and have they advised anything? I'm not sure a 3rd party getting involved locally would help the situation or be taken any further by the local plod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieBass Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Liam Carter and his company Cartec Audio have their business address as Nortex Mill in Bolton. The full address is freely available on the Cartec Audio website http://www.cartecaudio.com/ His company's Facebook page has a couple of people asking for support last year and they struggled to make contact so it'll be the same person. I really hope this matter gets resolved ASAP - we shouldn't have to put up with people like him abusing the trust of Basschat members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crag42 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 This would boil my piss!!!! It's a pity your in Lithuania coz if you were in the UK I'd definitely be recommending visiting the address in Bolton in person That's what I'd be doing. Hope it gets sorted mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Very disheartened to read this in the first instance but quite heartened that people are supporting a member from Lithuania. Some good work by Binky, the mods and others and if only the police would or could get involved, we can all hope this gets resolved... Best of luck. sorry it has come to this.

thebassist Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1428837892' post='2745005'] Something that's occurred to me regarding this. The guy would've had to pay his £20 or whatever to advertise. Wouldn't that PayPal payment have a name and address ? [/quote] Sorry to see this here. Have you contacted the mods about Ambient's suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyjimbob Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I know that if I lived closer to Manchester (i'm in Exeter) I certainly would have no hesitations about popping in and enquiring on his behalf. This marketplace is absolutely fantastic and to have people like this ruining it for everyone else is a really sh*tty thing to do. I would follow Ambient's suggestion though and try and see if you can get the payment address somehow? If I can help in anyway then I will.

tomuks79 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi guys. I contacted with the person form feedback, cartic audio, (as ambien adviced) we compare accounts and not the same. But I think he can use different accounts in different banks.... Maybe.. But the style is very similiar... I am confused... Regarding mods, I asked them, but they told me that can't help me without police permision.. So I have to wait until the police will start the procedure..

largo Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Not the same person, but I almost got stung by someone else in a similar deal. What p**** me off most was that I had to jump through hoops to setup a bank account in the UK with ID and all but I later found out that you can get a bank account & sort-code for these Western Union-style accounts. Looks completely like a bank account but operates nothing like a bank. The scammer just opens an account, take the payment & close it again with only an email address for ID! Are the 2 sort codes similar? Google them and see what bank comes back. I really do hope the OP gets his money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzing Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 yes .. is the better idea .. do it quickly ... i had a similar problem with a jamed neck problem .. and the seller considers me crazy about that .. he is very lucky because I would go to London for work and then in your house with my manager and the police .. last time broke the trip .. but never to late !!

Raslee Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I hope this gets resolved, I hate to hear these kind of sad stories on here. I am sure the Basschat community, including myself, will offer support wherever possible. Let's get to the bottom of this and if there is a dodgy dealer then let's catch this rogue!

I am inclined to agree though that it probably isn't a good idea to post bank details online although I would have little sympathy for the seller if something were to happen. Was the payment made to him through your Stepdad? If so then getting him to contact the police would be a good idea, as said earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaypup Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 There's not a lot you can do with those bank details except pay money TO him.
