He's fully booked until 2022 though isn't he? Lol

Depends on the prison sentence I suppose! I was thinking of drafting some warning letters to forward to anyone who thinks they'll be working with him, saying he might not be available and even if he is, they might not get paid.

He's got the home address of everyone he's not posted a Sansamp to, but on the other hand we know EVERYTHING about him including his home address, email addresses, photos of him, websites and stuff I've forgotten plus his mobile number if anyone wants to call him and remind him?

 

The number on the Funktion Junction website is no longer active, but I have a second number for him that is still linked to his email address if anyone wants to 'enquire about a booking'.

He is a convicted fraudster, counterfeiter, and liar. 

Probably lacking a few brain cells too, committing further fraud (under his own name!) when he's already on a suspended sentence.

He's currently telling me about all the shows he's booked, and how he 'employs some incredibly clever people' who got the IP addresses of users on this forum. I recently finished watching The Crown so listening to his stories and watching him freely offer up information about himself is keeping me entertained.

How did he do the refund?

It has been pointed out that it’s still fraud, even after it’s been refunded; I think the line of demarcation is when money has changed hands. 

Received the money by bank transfer. After speaking to one of my police officer friends, you're right, it is still fraud so I'll be reporting him to the relevant parties!

Mick seems to insist that people in this thread are fake profiles or simply liars, and that he's made a report with the police. I've asked him for the crime reference number to see if they'd like to hear my take on the story, but I think I'm more likely to see a SansAmp pedal on my doorstep tomorrow morning.

Sorry to hear about those still waiting on their money, with any luck this guy will be dealt with soon enough!

Hope you are successful in getting it refunded.

Do share the Action Fraud case number when you get it; correlating them all may well help.

You can also contact Leicester Police on the link on the previous page.

Someone also observed that one of his bands' FB page is back up now...

He sent my money back this morning! I told him that l'd let you guys know that he's now giving out refunds, but I'll still be reporting him for attempted fraud.

Best of luck to anyone else dealing with Mick Mason - feel free to get in touch with me if you want more contact info for him!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't hold your breath!  

He has used that line with every single person he has scammed so far.

No breath being held, but crossing my fingers. I'll definitely be following it up with Action Fraud. I also happen to have a mutual friend with Mick on Facebook, who I've messaged to see if he can get me any more details on this guy.

Good luck - have you read this whole thread? Hope you manage it.

Only found it today but read the highlights! He said he'll send me a refund tomorrow but we'll see.

This guy has my money and owes me a pedal. I'm investigating him now, trying to get in touch for my money back.
