His address? Who knows... I cannot believe the police cannot do something with this info with enough motivation... Gaaahhhh!!! I have posted on the other thread about Mr Mason and his address but it still seems that people are unable to put 2 and 2 together. I don't want to type out his home address as it may be against the rules of the site - and I do not wish to compromise the moderators. However, for those wishing to track down this convicted fraudster, Mick Mason (and all of his other aliases), please follow the next two links, which do reveal his home address. https://www.companysearchesmadesimple.com/company/uk/14022329/uk-tribute-shows-ltd/#summary https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/single-mum-pensioners-ingoldmells-caravan-3743529 I have led the horse to water. It's up to you people who have been scammed by him, to make it drink. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borntohang Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Usual items at usual price currently up under Tom Bannister in Sheffield - account picture is of a muppet which gave me a brief laugh at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Facebook market place is full of scammers. My mother in law is selling a table and chairs set and has had a number of obviously fake enquiries about it. They are almost identical to the scam attempted on me when I was selling a bass. They say they are going to send a courier to pick up the item (unseen) and give you the money. Then they ask you first to pay the insurance (but don't worry, you will get this back later). I'm sure someone, somewhere is falling for this. She asked where the latest one came from and after a five minute pause, they wrote Tobermory. I mean why would someone from Tobermory send a courier to pick up an item from Oban? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be reported this afternoon with the police, if the fraud team track his I.P address they have him but if we can give the action team a list of names they can look closer and prosecute, I don't like he has my friends address but its tuff luck. Ive posted this on my Facebook Page. If he is a musician its even worse. Thanks Jon08.

mep Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Still more reports of people paying by PayPal Friends & Family! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Burro Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Just been scammed on FB marketplace too. He's stealing photos from eBay and asking about half the price the items sell for. Seems an obvious scam in retrospect, but we all love a bargain and I've bought around 10 pedals from there before without issue. It's the fact they're fairly niche Boss pedals that suckered me in. OD-1X? DF-2?! Not exactly that well known. There are listings up there now under John Fin and Dave Flour. FB don't care, no matter how many times I flag them. Have reported to Action Fraud. Won't be using friends and family again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfcmatt Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Like many others on here I wish I had seen this sooner. I have just bought my son a pedal today from this guy, I paid friends and familly but funded through my credit card, does anybody know if I could use chargeback at all?

mep Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Sorry to hear of your troubles. Friends & Family FFS! Why are people still falling for that. He is neither.

Jon08 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Considering he's still defrauding folk and his earlier activity keeping bands deposits from nonexistent venue bookings plus his conviction how can he just be getting away with it??? I will be speaking with a mate who is former police officer and asking how to complain to made the loudest noise on this so something gets done. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I still find it hard to believe he hasn't conned the wrong person yet and got his head caved in, then the police will pay attention... And prosecute the wrong person. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braquo Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 All the names above - mason, flour, drips etc is it the same guy? Or different people using the same scam? I guess there’s no real way of knowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knicknack Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Just had somebody nearly scammed by this profile on FB groups... using my listing photos (Jad Freer CAPO). Might or might not be our man, but be alert! Luckily the buyer found me first.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braquo Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 What angers me is action fraud, the police, Facebook and PayPal are all not interested… and this guy can go on scamming and scamming for years on end 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And prosecute the wrong person. I must agree Kev. I think it's just that (allegedly) us bass players are a tolerant lot he's got away with it. That and the fact the Cops are ludicrously overstretched like all public services. Statistically though, I'd imagine he's not far off meeting said person who maybe won't suck it up and gives him more than a few slaps in a bid to recover their money. Then as you say, they'll probably get sent to chokey instead. It's all pretty grim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braquo Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Hi all this guy is still scamming. I have reported my case to action fraud and urge others to do the same… I am happy to collate everyone’s reference numbers and go to them and my MP if I have to once I have a big enough case of victims 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
