    For anyone who paid a deposit to Anthony (Tony) Sheedy. You're best bet is to call Killarney Garda Station on (064) 663 1222 (There is a detective there dealing with this guy). Just pull together any communication/ documentataion you have, phone him and be prepared to make a statement and court appearance. This guy is well known to Gardai.

    On the rent.ie site there were a few interior photos, and all that I can recall is that the place looked relatively new and had 8 bedrooms. Google street-view didn't go anywhere near the place, so I couldn't tell what it looked like from the outside.

    As the bank apparently repossessed it, it will no doubt be on the market soon, if they haven't put it up for sale already.

    I very much doubt there was ever a house. Probably just random pictures. Tony told 1 person his father had died, he was in the UK and they couldn't have the house. Another was told it was flooded, he was in Clare and they couldnt have it. On the same day.

    Obviously a dodgier scenario than I imagined.:eek:

    He must have had a house once, except not in the advertised location, if it's the same guy mentioned on this page:

    I would imagine that is his own dwelling house - i have been told that he lives in Firies.

    Street view does go through there, Id say I know what house it is, there isn't a lot of houses over there, if its the one Im thinking of its for sale, has been for a really long time.

    Couldn't get it to work for some reason (could be browser compatibility). Have you got a link so that I can have another go?:D

    I worked for that guy. He's a complete cowboy, he has legal action against him for innumerable scams he's pulled. One time, a man who he used to rent property for came back from living in London for a time to find that his own FAMILY HOME was being rented to random students. It was one of the busiest weekends of the year because the races were on and there was loads of events in the INEC and some biker show too so he couldn't get any alternative accommodation. I offered him my bed because I felt so sorry for him; imagine coming back to your house to find a load of students in the living room on a weekend where you could literally find no other accommodation!

    That Tony Sheedy guy, he goes by Anthony when he's not trying to dodge people. He changes his phone number regularly and owns Saratoga House B&B, a run-down dump that I wouldn't recommend to anyone, ever!

    Sorry about the double post but I just don't want this arsehole to be able to shaft anyone else. I gave as good as I got when I worked with him but I'd hate to think he's still f'in people over. The Saratoga House place has had its name changed to Cherry Tree House (probably because after I quit the running of it became absolutely appalling for about a year and a half and it got dreadful reviews on TripAdvisor) and it's being run by a nice-sounding guy called Danny now (but is still being managed by Anthony). Your best bet is probably to ring Danny on 0646634729 and ask him when Anthony will be in.

    Anthony's actually the guy right in the middle of this picture, at the bottom, holding the little girl in the red: http://kerryseyephotosales.photoshelter.com/image/I0000P_aGotbMS8I

    That's the second time you have asked people to PM you cos "we are going to the Gards". You sound a bit dodgy yourself. Go to the Gards yourself, I'm sure people can look after themselves if they want to.

    Ok, 3 things.

    1. You never said you would meet in the station. You said you wanted people to PM you first.

    2. This thread is 2 and a half years old and you just sound like someone fishing for information about the person in question. (You may even be the "scam artist" yourself imo)

    3. Your previous post is highly insulting and has been reported.

    1.What part of 'we are going to Killarney Garda station ' do you not understand? 2.it may be two and a half years old but he is still operating and people have contacted me already in the last couple of days and I'm sure they will confirm that on here soon. 3.if it is me 'the scammer' as you say do u not think asking people to go to a Garda station is a little bit odd ? 4.please pretty please with a bun on top will u just go away and annoy someone else

    My original question was why don't you just go to the station yourself if you are that worried about this guy. Like you said, he is well known so why do you need all the support to go see the Gards. Just go yourself if it is bothering you so much. tbh, you don't seem too pushed to go to the Gards so I don't see the point in your posts.

    Probably has little or no evidence of the transaction happening and is looking for other people in the area who were conned by or have a knowledge about this man to go with him to the Garda station. He could have already went to the Garda station before on his own and they done nothing for him. The Gardai in certain parts of this country are useless just like their commissioner and the Minister for Justice.

    Lads to put it simply, thius fella we are talking about still has tonnes of ads on donedeal and is scamming people left and right. However as Chris mentioned above, the Gardai are indeed useless and are doing nothing to stop him so I believe a visit to the station would be a waste of time. The Gardai don't have the interest in solving this crime nor cn they do much as their hands are tied - what they told a lady scammed last week.

    I've contacted the small claims court in tralee and will be chasing him in court I'll probably won't get back my money but if it highlights what dis fella is doing then I might stop some other person being scammed ,I've also reported his ads on donedeal and they said they are now monitoring it ,I've been to the guards in tralee now about 8 times and they won't act they are a disgrace

    Anybody think about taking an ad out with Kerrys Eye or The Kerryman - or better again, contacting a journalist there to cover the story?
    Should put a halt to this gallop - what an asshole.
