Any updates ?
Probably will cost more then 4K too. Hopefully he recovers the other half of his money and can bid on the opus.
He told me last night that he'd be sending more money this morning (UK Time) and would send proof. Nothing as of yet.
I did, Wednesday afternoon, he didn’t answer, so I sent him an email along the lines of ‘shame you missed my call, wanted to find out when you were sending the rest of the money. I went on to remind him it’s still fraud until all monies are repaid, not just part of it, and that the cops agree with me. I then dropped in that I’d met a friend of his recently, a very chatty friend, and although I hadn’t mentioned the issue, it might not be something that stays a secret too long
Wow, I’m new to Ferrari chat but I just read this thread start to finish without a break - I normally need a Jack Reacher book for that amount of dedication. I hope you get the balance Eric. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
I think it may have helped convince him to do payment number three! I’ll ring him next week and thank him if it turns up! Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Yes. Thank you. Sorry for not responding much. I'm still battling this pneumonia and don't feel like doing much of anything. It just won't go away!
No money yet. He sent me a screenshot just now saying that it would be deposited tomorrow so we'll see.
Almost worse than the money issue itself is the complete & utter dicking around this guy's been giving you the whole time.
Sid - feel free to tell him we're planning to do an article on him in GQ or LUX magazine. A 'Beware' article. Plenty of material here, Ferraris always make good reading, as do fraud stories (if it turns out to be that), and we will of course contact him for a quote. And use a picture. Who knows, it may focus the mind..
It looks like the seller really wants to keep his GF out of any police involvement. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
WOW, I'm genuinely amazed and very impressed at yours and Sid's tenacity and work. Really well done. Maybe you guys should go into the debt collecting business together? I've got an underhand eastern european who owes me a few £k you can go after next if you like
I have some underhanded Eastern Europeans suited to that job! It’s ll about finding the pressure button in his brain, and for this guy, his dropping his girlfriend into the frame for complicity was the one. Once we made him realise that, he had to pay up to save her.
