he will be getting an official report, itll all be above board.

It can't be above board if you have a pre-existing relationship with the investigating guard?
We don't get to pick and choose who handles an investigation, and if suggestions were made as to how to ensure such a thing.
The member in question is wide open to investigation, that would range far further than just the favour.

100% if you have been defrauded its most important that whoever did is caught

what do you mean if, i feel like you are implying that i havent been?

You really are a touch sensitive aren't you?
Maybe I should get my knickers in a bunch and ask what you meant by the rolled eyes?

I hadn't actually given the circumstance of your issue much thought, let alone worry if you actually had been scammed.
But as a quick exercise in heuristics.
You have yet to receive delivery of or communication from whomever has taken payment.
You are of course miffed at that.

However, there could be a myriad of reasons apart from criminal for that.
Injury, theft of phone, illness of seller or family member, other more pressing matters that unfortunately pushed that visit to the post office to the back of the sellers mind.
Or maybe the seller is a dick, maybe he is a criminal.

Maybe he'd even go so far as to mention co-opting Garda influence to seek a speedy resolution?

Im not sensitive, im annoyed, and some smart alec trying to suggest that i am mistaken is annoying me more, ok?

some of those could be considered if he hadnt already said that he had posted the item. I dont give a toss whats happened, unless the lad lied to me and then shortly afterwards came a cropper in some fashion there can be no excuse for not taking 5 seconds to send a message to explain himself.

anyway your last sentence confirms your intention to wind me up so lets leave it that.

Not many. But my point is that until you're sure it's a scam, I'd hold off on getting guards you personally know involved. We've all been in situations before where something like a watch sale takes a back seat to another life event.

Another week or two say and then yeah, it's worth throwing whatever you can at it. I just don't see the major difference in chasing now rather than in a week's time.

Then again, I could be wrong. He could be flying out of the country as we speak.

if im selling something to someone ill keep in touch regardless, i have sold 10s of thousands of euro worth of watches and never given anyone a moment to worry about receving it.

this case the 350 wont kill me, im just annoyed and people shouldnt get away with it.

he wont be flying off on the strength of the 350 but if he is id rather have it back.

again, the guy already told me he posted it, its not as if im waiting for him to send it.

My last sentence confirms only what you said previously.
If you feel I'm on a wind up, feel free to report me.

Cyrus wrote: »

ive told you straight i think you are on the wind up, but given we arent school kids ill just say it to you rather than "tell on you".

Like I said earlier, I'm not but you keep going on assuming that I am
As for being schoolkids, for all I know one of us may well be.

Not a bother to me in the slightest.

Cyrus wrote: »

you claim not to be on the wind up and then have another go

class act.

The only person wound up on here is you.
Understandably so too, in fairness.(at least with regards the possible loss)

It's never a comfortable situation to be left wondering if one has been scammed.

No-one else is, you are projecting whatever you are feeling onto me.
From your initial eye roll, to your complaining about what I'd implied.
Let's be clear, I didn't imply anything but you leaped on your perceived inference.

Then rather acknowledge that you may have knee-jerked, you keep thinking every reply is a further wind up and even called me classy!

I wish I was, unfortunately I use my fork in my right hand

Have a cup of tea, a deep breath, a **** or whatever else you may need to do to calm down.

There's nothing inflammatory or Wumming about anything that's been posted towards you.

If you think there is, well I've explained it as well as can be and if you still feel like ire or wind up is directed towards you?

That's completely your own problem.

im not wondering, im sure of it, as ive stated a number of times, you are the one intent on making excuses for the scammer.

In your last post you made the inference that one of us might be a school kid, given that you should know if you yourself are the inference is that you think i may be.

You can protest your bona fides all you want, but if thats not acting the arse what is it?

I'm not, your overly sensitive.
One of us may well be, I have a school bag by my feet and have just left the company of a lecturer of a group of students.

Fits the description of schoolkid doesn't it?

Can I guess that you sing Disney songs and have an innate ability to control animals?

Anyone considered that the guys adverts account could have been hacked?
