RikiB Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) https://gofund.me/467b4752 Ā As some of you might be aware there was a few items listed yesterday on Marketplace for a short period of time,luckily users were quick to report them and were removed swiftly. Unfortunately one person did fall for the false ad using a genuine members account he/she had hacked into. He sent Ā£400 I believe. If we can make a small donation to him I think it would ease his anger having lost this money. Ā Edited June 14, 2023 by RikiB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikiB Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 Ā£60 so far wow As soon as I can Iāll get this transferred to him once donations stop I guess. Ā Please share even if you canāt donate. Even Ā£2 donations add up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RikiB Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share Posted June 14, 2023 Well I just felt sickened and wanted to send him some money as I very nearly fell for it too. I was seconds away from sending Ā£300 towards a bass he said heād take Ā£300 and then Ā£150 when it gets here (all a scam) but luckily the real account holder messaged me saying that his account was hacked into and to not send money. Ā Ā£300 is a lot of money to me so I wouldāve been devastated. At least this guy is getting over half his money back thanks to you guys. a I donated Ā£10 but expected other to maybe donate Ā£2-3 to make up Ā£40 or something but itās far acceded that. shows what a lovely bunch of blokes you are for a fellow bass player. Ā sadly donāt think they guy will get caught. It was all convincing except the price (too good) and the PayPal address looked foreign so I hesitated luckily. Ā I messaged Basstardz the other day and he was very grateful to you all and said heās been very busy but will get on here hopefully.
