Scammer

I would like to report a man who got in touch with me about selling items for him. I am getting abuse off sellers who found this out. I have removed all adverts I posted for him. The email he used was paulbrighouse68@gmail.com. I am so disappointed and angry this man was allowed to advertise on your site and has now put me in a position where it could look like I was part of the scam. Can you please help?

    Oh god really??? This man has to be stopped as the abuse I am now getting is awful and I won’t be made to be involved. How do people get vetted on this site to ensure they are genuine??? So sorry this has happened to you I’ve kept all his emails and told him I know he is a fraud

    I'm getting the same type of abuse too I'm furious, I can't even blame the people upset bc there's at least one guy who paid a deposit and this man never met him to view the machine, and apparently never responded to him over email even though he told me he was corresponding with the guy. So he's basically run off with the guy's £1k, and the guy's been yelling at me for the past 3 days because I'm the only one he can reach.

    What kind of job board is this, HOW was this man not vetted??

    Excuse me ? are you insane ? those 2 persons said it is a scam because I asked them to list the items for me. I didn't do anything wrong. if you have concerns, check my company on company check website, QTC Limited. I have a profit of over 1 million pounds. do you think I made this profit by scamming people? you can't start accusing someone just because you don't agree with what I proposed. who wants to work can work with me, if you don't agree to my terms, fine, but don't accuse me. those 2 are idiots. just because I proposed this type of work, they immediately started accusing me. they didn't even listed an item for me.

    That's what he said to me when I told him I knew it was a scam, looking back now all the red flags where there he told me he couldn't accept Payment through PayPal so I'd have to give my bank details etc

    Wow that’s absolutely shocking!! I’ve reported it to the police. I got a message the other day from a couple who paid a deposit and was told the item was on its way to them and it obviously never arrived. £2k they were scammed out of so I encouraged them to call the police. What a vile man total crook
