Steve, glad to see the recent posts suggesting violence as a solution being removed from the thread. Let's keep it a civilised Forum and not a wild west saloon.

Banks and building societies have associations - nothing keeps them in line if they choose to break laws or the trust of their customers. Can't reasonably blame this situation on not having an association.

 

As to the 'Mods' or Steve 'leaning' on the offender. As has already been said, it's not the job and they may not what to get involved in any case. Imagine two people meet through a mutual like of the same pub. A suggest to B that he has something to sell. A deal is done but it all goes pear shaped. Would you really expect the publican and or staff to wade in on either side? Not the their job; the pub is run in a reasonable manner and has a high reputation, in part due to most of its customers getting on well together.

 

Tis rotten when things don't work out. But no recorded contract, so not much that can be done. Sympathy your way, yes.

Sorry to hear this bud.......can take along time to get your trust back in people when stuff like this happens.....

 

All in all tho id like to think stuff like this is pretty rare on this site.....i had a load of kit stolen three years ago (still to this day it winds me up!!!) And the help I got on here was overwhelming! ! It was on my old account (forgot password!!) And this is the thread.......

If you can't name and shame on here I understand why but on the other side of the coin people should be aware of scammers as they are utter scum bags......

I remember that mate! Glad you made it through.

 

Only good experiences for me through Arbtalk.

Well, apart from trying to drink with John Shutler.

The landlord also bars those undesirable customers in order to keep his business attractive and popular.

With 20,000 members you are bound to find a few rotten apples. Be a bit on your guard until you have met and formed a friendship. In 5 years I have only found 3 rotten apples and dealt with hundreds of honest friendly spot on people
