Not meeting someone isn't a crime is it?

cloud493 · 04-07-2014 09:59PM #1

Just wanted to check, long story short I had an arrangement to meet someone tomorrow to sell a computer, no money had exchanged hands, but private messages were exchanged, but I cant make it tomorrow so i messaged the chap this morning asking him to either wait, or meet closer to me, and all I've got is torrents of abuse, threats to report me to the garda and 'cybercell' and threats to sue me. Just to be 100% sure, not meeting someone in this context isn't a crime in any sort of context is it?

No.

Enjoy your weekend.

Amirani · 04-07-2014 10:01PM

Even if it was, it's certainly less of a crime than what your meet-up companion has been up to.

Sound of Silence · 04-07-2014 10:01PM

It is!

What's a cybercell?

Awkward Badger · 04-07-2014 10:01PM

Isn't that what they got Rolf Harris for ? I'd say skip the country OP.

How far is this chap travelling to meet you?

Well he said donegal. But his profile and previous comments suggest he actually lives about 5 minutes from the meeting place.

Not an inch, if the op was me. He sounds like a bit of an, erm, item. Gards! Lol. "Whatever old son, take two more of the blue ones " would be the reply..

cloud493 · 04-07-2014 10:05PM

I was 99% sure it wasn't. I just wanted to be 100%.

Mr. Incognito · 04-07-2014 10:06PM

Tell him to f off for himself. Gimp

holystungun9 · 04-07-2014 10:07PM

Offer him a holiday as compensation

Harry Palmr · 04-07-2014 10:08PM

Is he German or English? They don't like being kept waiting

He sounds like a fruitcake alright.

I'd only be that mad about not meeting someone if it was Ryan Gosling/Bradley Cooper/Katy Perry/Kate Winslet who cancelled a hot sex meetup on me. :pac:

Suuuurrrreeee, it'll be grand OP, tell him you'll meet him tomorrow and then don't show up or do but hide in the shadows and film your man having a freak out when he can't find you. :pac:

Which is odd, they were grand hanging around in the trenches with each other.

Do you swing both ways?

Zab · 04-07-2014 10:12PM

There's no problem with breaking the arrangement, and if your description is accurate I'd suggest you never meet that person.

Heterosexual most of the time, but yes, I find women attractive also.

cloud493 · 04-07-2014 10:13PM

I'd go gay for Ryan Gosling.

realdanbreen · 04-07-2014 10:13PM

How much do you want for the computer?

O.P. your buyer sounds like bit of a nut job to me.
No, you are not commiting any crime in any context. Inform him that you are not comfortable with his attitude towards you and you are withdrawing from the transaction. Also tell him that if he continues to send you abusive and threatening messages you will have no option but to report him.
Have no more contact with him and screen save all the messages between you both so far and any future ones.
If you do, for whatever reason, decide to meet up with the buyer, do not go alone.

I googled it, and it seems to be some sort of cyber police in Mumbai.

Awkward Badger · 04-07-2014 10:20PM

How has he lost 30 euro ?

cloud493 · 04-07-2014 10:21PM

He claimed he got a bus from donegal. But his profile, and comments to other people, including some from today, says he lives about 5-10 minutes walk from our meeting place.

Not meeting isn't a crime, but sending abusive, threatening and harassing messages is. Put the gob****e on ignore.
