Wine scam (I didn't realise that there was help out there!)

  • Somebody from London Bonded Warehouse had earlier contacted me warning me off someone who was wanting to buy my wines. Sadly the same individual didn't seem to be around when the later crook succeeded!  Or was the first warning all part of this clever scam with so many people involved - all for just £7000. Not much for each member of this large devious organisation! And no they weren't all the same person!
    I am still of the opinion that the only really illegal action was taken by the person who finally bought the wine. The original sellers were nasty wise guys, but not actually doing anything illegal, just a hard sell. The Official Receiver was ..... The Official Receiver - he had nothing to gain.
    There seem to be more conspiracy theorists on this site than on the whole of Facebook.

    How did you validate that they were from London Bonded Warehouse?

    But people clearly have conspired against you to relieve you of your money. To do so they have adopted false identities and sold you fake non-existent goods that you've never set eyes on.

    Are you registered with the TPS?
    Whilst they may not help with specific cases, you can then say that it is illegal to cold-call you if there are any callers.
  • ONE person conspired!
  • That's enough! Bye all!
