Haven’t you heard, he’s too busy gigging, unlike us keyboard warriors!

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

-he told me his daughter posted it 2nd class then gave me a 48hour tracking number for a parcel he was receiving.

[...]
-when I provided proof of a recorded phone call with Royal Mail where I’d had it confirmed that the tracking number I’d be given was never scheduled to come to my address, he told me he’d had the parcel re-routed to him as he was scared I would “damage the pedal and try to claim refund”. Again, Royal Mail confirmed he never had it rerouted.

This makes sense. It didn't sound likely that he'd go to the trouble and expense of sending parcels to himself... so he simply shows his victim tracking details of a random parcel he's received / receiving... deceitful, not very difficult, and not very clever.

Although I (thankfully) don't have a dog in this fight -- thanks for posting up your experience. 👍

Nail on the head. Royal Mail confirmed to me that that particular tracking number I'd been given was for a parcel he was receiving. My name and address had never been on it. Caught him out when I used their post code checker so I got straight on the phone. Recorded the call, showed him the video recoding and he said "Yeah, I had it re-routed so it wouldn't go to you" blah blah blah. Lies and more lies. He's thick as pig slew.

Has anyone on here sent a message to "Real Magic Queen Tribute" about their bass player?

[ForbiddenWytch]

I messaged the "Real Magic Queen Tribute" page as I can clearly see him in the photos but either he's used a fake name with the band or he's the admin on the page because this was the reply.

How many pages / bands does this character have involvement with?

What pages does he managed / moderate or admin for?

Looks like he's involved in The Carpenters Experience & The Phil Collins Experience too. 

This is taken from Brookside Theatre's Facebook page from last year, guess who the "band manager" is? 

 

Much to our disappointment, the "band manager" of THE CARPENTERS EXPERIENCE and ONE MORE NIGHT - THE PHIL COLLINS EXPERIENCE has pulled both productions at the very last minute. Any and all money has been refunded and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment caused - this was sadly out of the theatre's control and has proved costly to the theatre and War Memorial charity.

I have messaged John Henderson, found a tagged video on Mick's profile so gone direct to him.

Hi all, 

I'm sure you'll be shocked to know but I also recently fell victim to Mick Mason too. 

I "Bought" a Sansamp Bass pedal off of him on 20th Nov and didn't receive it. Long story short I got all of the usual excuses and delays everyone else did every time I mentioned a refund. However, much to my disbelief he actually sent me my money back after a month of excuses, more than likely because I made a public post calling him out and it started to get shared quite rapidly. I was amazed how many people (some of you on here) got in touch with me telling me that they experienced the same thing and the lies were pretty much identical to what he was feeding me.

I'm gutted to find out that there are far more people that have been conned by this "man" than I originally thought and I hope you all get the same result I did in the end. 

However, if it's any help I do have full convo history/screenshots and will be more than happy to help anyone get this con man exposed and his "bands".

Just had a random message from someone on FB (will keep in anonymous):

"Mick Mason is a Con Artist. I worked for him for 1 year. He owes a hell of a lot of people money. If you get a case going to bring him down, I have all the contact details youl need so get in touch and il do what I can to help you bring him down. He is a scumbag. Last count it was around 35/40 people he owed gig money to. Calculated at around 40k. Some are suing, some let it go. Hes on a 2 Yr suspended sentence."

The more I hear bout him the worse it gets.........

Yes welcome @DIYorDie, hope you stick around to chat about more pleasant topics!
