Need Help

[dunn]

hey everyone, im from SA but i really need som help tracking down a member of this forum, his name is Josh Martin (180sxdrifterj).

im trying to find him because i bought a car from him recently and never recieved it. he has since changed his numbers and i cant find him. i really need to get some personal details as i am going to the police. I know i am mostly to blame in this incident as i put my trust in someone i didnt really know but please spare me the hacks, this has caused me enough grief already. He used to own a R32 gtst and a onevia and i think he was on here fairly frequently.

any info you can give will be hugely appreciated and if anyones been through this before and can give me some advice that will also help.

cheers, Nick.

tried myspace and facebook. just for a pic atleast ?

[R31Nismoid]

Do i understand correctly... You paid in full, in advance... for a car .. over the internet?

[dunn]

yeah found him on both, wont accept my add. NO i didnt nismoid, and you aint helping.

[R31Nismoid]

Well I'm just interested how you buy a car, and you don't actually get it?

Generally people hand over cheque/cash as they pick up the car...

And you saying you put 'trust' in someone certainly sounds like a blind EFT... like so many before you.

This is just a larger scale of loss, same theme though unfortunately

[dunn]

because i live in another state, i spoke to him for a while, got all his bank details, work numbers and phone numbers. and he generally seemed like a very trust worthy person, but of course he wasnt and im still kicking myself everyday about it, its only 5grand but im a student and it was all my money.

he has sinced cancelled his numbers, stopped replying to any emails, and even changed jobs so i really dont know what to do, I'm sick of this playing on the back of my mind everyday so im taking a long shot and hoping someone will help me out. trust me i know now it was an incredibly stupid thing to do and i am pretty embarrassed about the whole ordeal so sorry if i snapped but ive already beat myself up enough about this.

as another incentive anyone who helps me to tracking him down and getting my money back will get a $1000reward (if i manage to get my cash back).

The way i see it

You have his name ,Bank details,place of work,phone number .

Give this info to the police and they will find him in about a hour. Problem solved.

Unless you are looking for him for a totaly different reason and you cant go to the police .

You cant just pop in here and ask for peoples details..

[dunn]

i have numbers that are no longer connected and his old works number, i figured the police would say it wasnt enough i was just hoping to get a working number and go straight to the cops with it before he changes it again. im telling the %100 truth here, im not a drug dealer or hit man, wouldnt mind hitting him though trust me.

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah well fresh accnt, a story with no evidence...

No-one is going to tell you much dude im afraid, i know i wouldnt if i knew the dude

Integrity much?

[dunn]

yeah i figured it was a long shot. i know nobody who's mates with him will dob him but maybe someone who's bought something off him maybe.

[R31Nismoid]

Integrity much?

The highest you'll find.

Think about it for a second and then tell me im wrong.

How do you know ANY of the above it true?

You don't. Assumptions offer nothing, proof is everything. We don't give out ANY personal details easily, without solid evidence.

So if you have proof - follow correct channels via police and so on.

Handing out someone's details over the internet above what you can "google" isn't something i would expect a "mate" to do at all.

try some of the people in that thread, they may have bought it and picked it up.

And another

And another with some one who seems to know him, you need to do more leg work if you really want your money back.

cheers man i look into it. nismoid if you know something and dont wanna tell me cos u dont trust me thats fair enough, but PM me cos id be willing to forward you emails as proof, ive still got them all saved, could also scan up deposit reciepts etc.

[justin911]

jeez uve been looking for him for over 5 months

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...=344030&hl=

you dont sound like your very good at looking

[dunn]

well i got in contact with him since that last thread and he had his excuses, 2weeks sorta bullshit, and i didnt know what to do, i wanted to lose my shit at him but i figured he wouldnt get in touch with me again. had this been in the same state it would be a different story, cant exactly pay him a visit unfortunately.

[justin911]

remind us again why u dont tell the police ?

cant be stuffed scrolling up

I was just pointing out the silly integrity comment mainly is unfounded, and wrong.

I honestly know nothing, and i wont give out his details until the Police contact, im happy to deal with them, i have many times before
