Rob01 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, I've been bumped out of 400 pounds for some alloys I saw for sale on pistonheads, I paid for the wheels on the 13th and since then I have had no contact. I paid him via a bank transfer so I have all his bank details. I've sent him numerous emails, texts and I try to call him daily but it just goes to voicemail now. I found him on facebook, and when I tried to contact him his profile suddenly dissappeared! I know the guy is from bathgate and a couple of other details, but i'm not sure what I should do now. Any helpful advice would be appreciated Edited September 29, 2010 by Rob01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 yeah that, the police should be able to get his address from the bank and pay him a visit, if they dont there really is no justice in this world. Its a shame you didnt know his address, cos then my suggestion would be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
