Chris Perkins Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 This 'James Hughes' or whatever his real name is seems to have been busy lately!I've just heard from another customer/dealer friend of mine. He received an £800 cheque that bounced and then found this topic via google. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Out of order,although would of thought he would of done them all on the same day. Quote
azda Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 He must be hoping that someone will send the purchased items before the cheque clears. Quote

Peter Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Has anyone contacted ebay about this fraud?They can surely ban his IP address. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 Nothing to do with ebay. There are some people that sell things without ebay! Quote
Peter Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Seems he trying all avenues.Coin fair dealers are also at risk.Ebay will have all details on this scumbag which needs handing over to the police. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 He is not going to be daft enough to show his face.They are just low life who hide from everyone Quote
Rob Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Dealers might accept cheques from people at fairs, but only ones you know could pass a cheque over and take the goods with them. Everyone else waits. Quote
Garrett Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 And that is fair enough too.Do you get many cheques these days ?I can't think of any reason I would want to get a chequebook.cheersGarrett. Quote
Rob Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 You often get people with chequebooks at fairs, particularly older customers. The other option for the buyer is to take what potentially is a very large wad of cash. To take cards on the spot you need some means of connecting to the card processor which involves a card reader which you can plug into a phone with an internet connection. Many dealers don't have a website, so card payments are not something they would consider. Quote
Peter Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 GarretMy mum still lives by the cheque.She has a cash point card but I have to escort her and count out the money.I do direct debits/paypal/credit&debit cars.She isn't interested. Quote
scott Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I thought they were phasing those things out. Quote
Garrett Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 okay all good logic. Thanks for the replies. Quote
