Does anyone know MX5king AKA smithy

[TimMac]

Do you You know this person?
Thomas smithins who lives in stoke,his user name is Mx5king
Aka smithy and uses the email address mx5lolza@outlook.com
As far as I know he runs buggies

I posted a wanted add to which he replied saying he had the rc gear I wanted
The last message I had from him (19/8/14)was that he'd received payment and he would post the items next day.
After numerous messages and sent emails i have had no response and the items have not turned up
Any help would be greatly appreciated

He's on a static IP that's registered to Orange UK (broadband) in Stoke. No-one else has ever used that I.P on oOple.

TBH everything about this screams scam.

If you paid by "normal" Paypal, I would open a dispute and get your money back..

I spoke to Tim today about this and unfortunately in his own words "I stupidly paid as a gift". And it wasn't a massive amount but it's still his hard earned and some waster has got away with it again.

For what little it's worth I removed trader access from mx5 as soon as I saw Tim's post (around 24hrs ago) and sent him a PM. But as he's not been online...

I stupidly paid as a gift

means that technically (in the eyes of both the law and paypal) mx5 has done absolutely nothing wrong.

Good will,gentlemans agreement,I sent him money in good faith
Which as the messages would prove a deal was agreed any judge would uphold that
Just the same as a service performed like washed windows/car
De weeded garden the only difference is we havnt been face to face......yet
Hey col can you tell if he's been on since but not logged in?
