Posted by Hamster,

Hi all I've spent the best part of 3 hours thinning this topic out to what could be considered relevant and uncontroversial comments. To keep this topic readable, please can we just: Keep to reported facts and updates about case progression Don't feel that you have to comment on everyone else's post Cut out the banter - yes it's funny but it just bloats out the topic to make it harder to read and harder to find relevant information Thanks

Please read before posting - thanks

Posted by prowla,

There is a seller who is advertising bass gear for sale (eg. SansAmp pedals on Facebook) and failing to deliver them. They look to get you to pay by bank transfer or PayPal Gift/Friends & Family.     (TIP: learn from other people's mistakes and don't agree to pay by an unsecured method!) After receiving payment the seller will promise to send the item, possibly via their daughter. You won't receive the item and after a time to allow it to come through, you'll get back to

Details of the scam if you’re just joining us

First hearing, apparently. 

 

Perhaps others on basschat will be better able to explain what this means? 

 

As one of the offences can carry a significant prison term the Magistrates can't deal with it.

 

So it's probably been kicked up to the Crown Court for a full jury trial.

With the gross underfunding of the CJS I would expect that to take place no earlier than 2027.
