  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

FS: RED PRO 18-85mm T2.9 (Imperial) lens (New cut down price!!!)

Hi Isaac, thanks kindest of word and all of you guys point out, actually, I got he send me the bill before made the deal,
here's the bill from him, the zoom lens own by him and send to the address he has provide, that's all matching,
so, i decide to pay for, but right now it seems like a trap, will see...

Oh dear. On top of this, why would a "Londoner" have an imperial marked lens?

It's the least of the worries in this thread, but I can assure you that feet and inches are alive and well in their home country ;)
 
Hey guys,

I am in the same boat as Perry.. Paid a couple of days ago for the lens.. No reply from the guy after that.. I am thinking
about legal actions in uk even though I am from poland.. After seeing the invoice, the guy seemed genuine enough even though
the price was a bit on thhe lowside..

Robert: any recommendations how you would proceed with this legally, since you are local.. ?

This is undoubtably a scam ..... I just sent a p.m message myself offering a deposit to see if he would still accept it despite having sold this lens twice on this thread. He was willing to accept my money. Looks like one of those more advanced Nigerian scammers who notoriusly use Western Union transfers which are almost impossible to trace.
 
I believe the original commercial invoice should have color in it and not black and white like shown in the picture ? I dont think it's print out either, it has hand writing on top of it
 
Maybe the "seller" is taking so long because he is losing 50% in a little over a month?
(Invoice says Jan. 31 2011)

Crook has spent some time reading these threads for sure but it looks very suspicious
all around.

This is not good.

Did you guys pay with Western Union or thru a bank wire? If you used Western Union for payment, odds are that this guy isn't in the UK at all. I'm sure that someone here at REDUSER can look at Juniors IP address and determine if he's scamming from the UK or from somewhere else. The only way to follow thru with legal actionis if you made payment thru a wire transfer or bank payment that would be attached to a real person and account. I sure hate seeing this, even more that it's happened to one of us on REDUSER. In this case, it sounds like two of us.
 
Transfer transaction based on western union is the worse way of doing business.

yup he was pm'ing me. He wanted to sell the lens to me despite having taken the money from 2 people on this thread. First he agreed to a face to face pick up and now he is unavailable. For what it is worth you can contact these people in the UK http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/
 
His account is now locked, at least he can't change any info he may have still had within it.

As for IPs, not going to post anything publicly, but there's not a whole lot of info to be had there. He's using a dynamic or publicly allocated IP source and has several linked to his account. So it's not definitive. All are within the UK. This "junior k olasoji" was also a user with the name "junior" who was banned a couple weeks ago for not having a real name. I can't find any existing posts tied to that username.

I would recommend contacting the authorities in the UK as well as the UK consulate or embassy in HK.

Anyone who has PM's from the guy should hold on to them for now... Just sayin'
 
Piotr, Perry.

I mailed you Piotr. I am quite happy to pay a visit to this Dagenham address and see if this guy exists, and if he does, collect your money.... However i doubt that the address is his real abode. It's very sad to see this happening on reduser, we all need to be more vigilante and look after each other. Maybe if there are UK sellers for instance, use UK red owners to check these guys out before purchase and the same for other parts of the world....Just an idea, not sure if it would work?....but it would be good to make sure this does not happen again.

Thanks for stepping in Jeff, this is terrible maybe you guys can post something on here about safe transaction practices. for example dont send money to guys who have really no history with reduser, dont use western union, to name a few.
