the cops are not going to do jack. I had a guy flogging crap out of my ute a few nites a week for two weeks the cops took all my details and never heard back from them. I even had camera footage of the guy taking crap out of my ute. so in the second week i waited for this bloke and i chased him shooting a nail gun at him, this person never returned and i have never seen him again.

Theft is a bit different. I once had stuff stolen out of a hotel room I wad staying at with my family. The cops did nothing about it. Stolen items are hard to trace whereas a money trail isn't as hard, especially if this person has ripped off a few people.

Lets keep the thread on topic guys and not turn it into a slanging match against the cops.

Hey Greg, Ill be down in Coomera tomorrow afternoon so PM me his name and address and Ill check it out .. Not saying I will knock on doors but I have friends in the area with herps so they might know something.

 

[in2reptiles]

yes But Greg has some details eg phone number address and bank details so their job has been partly done.

apparently the address is a vacant block

I just reread my post. I didn't mean for it to sound negative towards the cops. I have the utmost respect for what they do. I definitely could not do their job. What I meant was they did nothing because their was nothing for them to do. It is very unlikely they could have recovered our stolen items. Plus it was a bunch of kids that did it, some of which did eventually get caught.

Greggles, I can't believe some of the lowlifes out there. I hope the person who ripped you off is caught or it is a misunderstanding and you end up with a beautiful GTP.

Yes the address maybe vacant block, but when I opened a bank account I needed my address details.

I know right! Such low lives it really upsets me they are in our hobby. And it's a green tree snake/ common tree snake green phase Dendrelaphis punctulata not a green tree python.If it was a gtp I would be even more careful for what try are worth and prob wait for one to pop up in Sydney as they do from time to time.. Gts are harder to come by in my opinion cheaper though

Ok soooooo...

Crime stoppers tell you to contact scam watch, a government organization that monitors scams etc. they are only open Monday to Friday so will call them Monday and Check out there website www.scamwatch.gov.au

Because its a fraud claim i am unable to report it to the police over the phone and have to go into a local station and fill in some forms. Will do this ASAP.

Just got off the phone to st george and they took all my details and are applying for a "recall". The gentlemen on the phone said that if it is deemed as fraud that the money will be returned into my account(not sure if that's true?) This takes upto 4-6 weeks..

Fingers crossed every one.

 

[Gonemad]

I hope it all works out and you get your money back at the very least! Good luck.

 

[greggles91]

Accidently duplicated post sorry.

Thanks mad. I will be sure to inform you all of what happens.

What I do is one for when it comes to reputable breeder and if not advise payment by PayPal as doing this gives you some protection if things go pair shaped

 

[smileysnake]

Any more news yet mate and yeah no matter how many times you do something with no problem you will generally get caught out. MURPHY'S LAW..!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to know smiley.. Definitely did ask to do PayPal but he apparently didn't have it.. Although I've used direct deposit before with no dramas.. Unfortunately we sometimes jut have to trust people.. And in this day and age that's seems to be getting harder n harder to do.
