What did the police say ste m???

Mick I emailed you mate

[Panorama]

How did you pay, by debit card or visa ?

[Ste M]

bank transfer. its how he got everyone

[Panorama]

Was it a debit card though ?

[Ste M]

don't get what you mean, i transferred money from my paypal account to my wifes hsbc an then she transferred it to p alleys account

[Panorama]

Your wife's hsbc account , does the card say debit on it ?

[Ste M]

yes, her bank is sending us a letter that we then have to take into halifax

[Panorama]

That's good, you claim the money back off the bank under section 75 of the consumer credit act , cause you paid by debit card you have 90 days to put your claim in, if you paid by visa, you would of had 6 years to put your claim in. Don't let the bank fob you off

[Ste M]

The bank have told me I've been scammed, they say its the same as paying cash for something, I am going to go in to the local branch on Saturday to have a word as well

[Panorama]

Okies , don't let them fob you off

Has hsbc told you to go to Halifax ?

[Ste M]

Okies , don't let them fob you off

funnily enough i was speaking to the fraud squad today and they said the same about the banks

[Ste M]

Has hsbc told you to go to Halifax ?

halifax told me they need either the police or hsbc to ask for the money, thats why hsbc is sending the letter out

[Panorama]

If you used your wife's hsbc debit card, then it's hsbc who you claim against. You have paid for goods that haven't arrived, the bank are at fault.

[Ste M]

they said though that by doing a bank transfer on line then its the same as a cash purchase, ill keep pushing though and I've still got a few avenues, all else fails then I've a long drive to go get my money

[Dave Mills]

FFS! Report it to the Police and insist they act.  This is not a civil matter, its fraud and is a criminal matter and the Police will act.  Get him dealt with by the law.

[Ste M]

Dave i have done this today to the fraud department, going into my local station on sat. Im going to push as hard as possible to get him prosecuted

[mark dew]

The correct way of dealing with it if I did do what I suggested, would be to visit Weymouth police station, and explain to the shift sergeant there what had been going on, had him a print out of the threads on here about Mr P Allen and explain to him that I was going around to visit the fella and see if I could suggest a deal which involves this guy paying back the money which we all believe he has stolen from some decent members from this forum.

Nowt wrong, immoral or illegal about that is there?

No there isn't dean, it's commendable.
 
I don't think anyone was trying to throw water on the idea, just how it appeared earlier.

A couple of letters making allegations of your conduct (regardless of truth) will end up on someone's desk and could cause you inconvenience if nothing else.
Record your meeting on your phone or something if you do go face to face.

Malicious people can create all sorts of problems for any government organisation type person, if they choose to be deceitful and targeted in their intentions.

Cover your back is more the message, I think.
