SCAM, KAWASAKI ZX6 636 FALSELY ADVERTISED, £200 STOLEN

Tbh we're best off just using them for sport until they give up on trying to use that particular account for the scam as having hundreds of people asking if the bike is available and then calling them a dirty scammer is bad for the business model.

Speaking of which, who's having the next go at asking about it?

TBH there isn't a single 636 on eBay less than 2 grand. The price alone should have been ringing alarm bells.

Just to verify, I spoke with the guy, messaged him on facebook, and after him saying hes more than happy to send the deposit back my dad sent me the money for me to send as a deposit. So i sent over the £200, the next day he said his wife had been rushed into hospital and would send the deposit back if i couldnt go down to see the bike later that day or the following day, so i said no its ok we can come down tomorrow, he said ok first thing tomorrow, i said 10am thats fine, we both agreed.

I lost contact with him that following morning and instantly went down to the house to see the bike...

My dad at 80 sold his CBR1000 fireblade, bought a kawasaki ZX6 2008 model, sold that then suddenly wanted a bike again. He bought a chopper style kawasaki VN900 when he was 75, had it a week and sold it said it was slow, heavy, shocking handling and bought himself a brand new zx10r which was stolen in hattersly just scum bags arent they

I wouldnt have even known how to check the bank, his facebook accout said he lives in swindon actually and said he worked at halifax bank swindon..... Oh dear this isnt going good, ive got to try and get this £200 back for my dad, hopefully seeing as it was a verified "green tick authorised and recognised" bank account according to barclays hopefully the fraud team will get it back asap

Every cnut has the right to bare arms in the IS and scammer be working their tricks there for years.
When there's a risk of being shooted in the fukin face for scamming someone, one would believe its not as rife in the US.
It's a human condition. Shooting would help.

Try the banks as advised. Problem getting the money back if its been lifted.
But police report and banking search is a good place to start.

This pulled at my heart strings and was about to suggest setting up a go fund me page. I'm sure between the contributors in this thread we could have raised £200 no problem!

So glad to get to the end and learn you got your dad's money back!

Seems like a fairly unsophisticated scam. This could genuinely be some fcuking lowlife fukwit benefit scrounger in the UK somewhere. Probably low intelligence and uneducated. Unfortunately it works. Sometimes the most unsophisticated scams can be the most effective. But they're not going to make a fortune. Not like the call centres in Asia that make millions. This sounds like some scumrat desperate to raise enough cash for his next fix. They're unlikely to get away with it indefinitely.

As others have said this is one of those prepayment debit card banks. VERY common with scammers! I've been tried to be scammed so many times but looking up the sort code is a dead giveaway. They'll give a bank account to anyone. It's amazing they get away with dishing out these bank accounts left right and centre without any meaningful checks. Surely the FCA should take issue with this practice? These banks are almost solely used by scammers and illegal immigrants because mainstream banks won't issue them with an account. It really shouldn't be that hard to close down this practice.

I can guarantee your bank has taken the hit on this. And while the end result is still the same, and not that I have any sympathy for your bank, it's slightly disappointing that the money wasn't actually recovered from the scammer and instead someone else (i.e. the bank) has ended up footing the bill.

Please keep us posted on your dad's next bike! He sounds awesome!
