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

Original case was to be heard in the Magistrates Court. That's like the difference between going for lunch at The Ritz, or McDonalds. 

 

There's a big difference. The Crown Court can impose harsher penalties and you will be up before a Judge as opposed to someone volunteering from the community with little to no previous grounding in law.

Over here it used to be a bit like that. Cops could put someone in front of a volunteer Magistrate at 1am to get him banged up pending charges. Nowadays I don't know.

 

In Australia they have to be proper lawyers to get into the game.

I think that’s the point. Mick may need to postpone his tour dates for the next few months (hopefully years).
