I was ripped off on Ebay last year, bought some tickets to see the Police in Manchester that never turned up. Ebay user disappeared, I went round to the house I sent the cheque to and they denied all knowledge.

Anyway, last Tuesday the police phoned me to say they were charging the bassa with fraud and he would be in court.

Story below.

So far they think he has ripped off about £70k. Not just concert tickets, but rugby world cup final tickets, mobile phones, Wii, playstation. None of which he had.

Apparently, he had to be dragged kicked and screaming from the dock, didn't expect to be locked up until the next case. I'm taking the day off work to go and see the next installment. It's a proper soap opera, he even tried to fake his death last year to hide from the people chasing him.

He is facing up to 10 years in the "Big House" :2t: :2t:

I think he needs some special treatment in the shower block.

Oops, he must have slipped and fell, impaling himself on this broom handle in a most uncomfortable place.

Shame eBay arent actively trying to catch people like this, I bet there are more bassa's getting away with it than get caught..
