  • i have also been scammed by the fisherclan as has my friend we are going to the police today to see what we can do. consumer direct said we can sue him if we have his home address which i have so i will be starting court proceedings shortly altho the chance of getting any money are slim. i have heard from another ebay user that he is sunning himself in spain at the mo with our money but not sure if that is true. i suggest you try do the same as i am otherwise put it down to experience but by doing this he gets away with it and is still able to con ppl.
    hope this helps

    i advise everyone to call the ipswich trading standards as they are trying to get a case together against mr fisher. jackie i will look for the details for the evening star and contact them. this man needs naming and shaming so hopefully he will think twice about doing it again!

    You really need to take it up with the authories not get addresses from strangers on an internet forum. Go to the police, as im sure they WILL have correct and sound info.

    thanks , the only thing worrying me is that he had 3 different listings for different dates yesterday , which where due to run for another week or so, and there is nothing listed at all for him now. when i type in the item number it says that the listing has been removed !!
    does ebay not say why the listing has been removed? ie has ebay removed them or has the seller removed them, if ebay have removed them contact them asking why? must admit i would worry now:confused: also if thats the haven site you could try calling them to check if everythings ok
