warwickhunt Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) I may as well save someone the horror of being scammed rather than playing this chump any further...

Kwesi Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I'm the one who was unfortunately had by this guy on the Warwick forums and I'm working on getting my money back. I'll be posting the info contact info he gave me in hopes that if this whole police thing doens't work maybe there's some slim chance that someone could track him.

Kiwi Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 The IP address is based in a fairly remote part of northern Thailand. $2000 would probably feed a family for months there. There's a popular Thai bass forum [url="http://www.siambass.com/"]http://www.siambass.com/[/url] so it could be worth dropping one of the mods or admin a message through their forum and seeing if he's known there as well. EDIT: They've got their own warwick sub forum too.

lemmywinks Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I hope this one turns out well Kwesi, i hate it when things like this happen. Reminds me to always be on your guard, there's always going to be an element of trust but i still find it pretty shocking when a fellow bassist tries to rip someone off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecowboy Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Such a damn shame when things like this happen. Most importantly as that bass is an incredible specimen. I hope it all works out positively for the guy who paid the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
