Hello everyone. I've just signed up purely to add some info to this particular gentleman. . .
And when I say 'gentleman', I mean a @*&^%$£ scammer.
I searched the number 07709214020 and this post came up on Google along with the fact (mentioned above) that his number has been searched on 'whocalledme.com' 155 times. . .
So, I sold a petrol go-kart on ebay recently (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264146832827). He messages me his number, texts go back and forth arranging collection. All normal so far. The day comes (today) and he says 'sorry delayed 2 hours'. Ok, so I wait at home. Of course he never shows up and when I called he cut me off and sent a text 'Can't talk, text me'. I did, asking if I'm wasting my time waiting, no reply.
I've got two names for him listed on eBay weirdly, William Hope or William West, and an address of 37 Woodlinken Close, Verwood, Dorset, BH31 6BP. Here's his house to egg if you're in the area looking for probably a fictitious 370Z lol - https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/detailMatching.html?prop=51688806&sale=28251303&country=england.
There's a Gumtree ad for the 370Z as well, name just says 'Will'.
I note the eBay profile name for his car advert was 'haymel_9' but the account he used to buy my kart was 'haylie1975' with feedback of 746 (sounded good!) Possibly his missus' account for the car sale but still dodgy as he has his own to use. . .
That's my 2p anyway. I don't know why these people bother. I will have a close watch on my garage now though as he has my address and knows where the karts are stored.
