penguin Posted August 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 So... since he sent me a forged check, he's probably not really that guy either is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unlike Luke to do that to someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfboy Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) I would call him, but my phone doesn't have an 'X' on it. What exactly do you want us to do? If you think he's sent you a fake cheque ask your bank, what is a fake cheque anyway? does it have 'VOID, VOID, VOID, THIS IS NOT A CHEQUE' along the bottom - no. 1 giveaway.

Tony Harrison Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Simple solution... don't send whatever he has paid for. I'm sure I've heard of Luke Malpass, and that he's a sound guy. Don't go jumping to conclusions, it might not be what you think. Could well be some guy trying to get Luke into trouble... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the bank, and told them i didn't trust the person. The bank people said that it was forged, a common thing for people from europe to be doing. They said the bank account on it doesn't exist. Well... when i put it in, it didn't have a bunch of XXX - but someone changed it, or the system changed it.

Badboy Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 (edited) Luke lives in stoke-on-trent, not gloucester. Just done a search on BT.com an the address you give there doesnt exist either. There is no Malpass that lives at that address. You have been scammed, but not by the Luke Malpass on here, by someone pretending to be him maybe. Personally i dont trust anyone that offers a cashiers cheque. When my bro was selling his moto-x bike, he kept gettin people asking if they could pay with a cashiers cheque, also asking for our postcode to put into an address finder, we found out that the cheque would bounce an the postcode was to put into a sat-nav so they could come steal the bike. This has been going on a lot. Edited August 6, 2005 by Badboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpass Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Penguin, hey dude, sorry it sounds like you had what happened to me a while back when I was selling an old trials bike. I posted straight after I was almost done for £1500 that cheques take 10 days to "clear", and my bank made the money available after 6, stating it was "OK" after just 3! It wasn't until the 10th day when I was about to send the bike that I found out it bounced, only by luck of simply checking my balance that day! Don't know who's sent you but it wasn't me mate.

penguin Posted August 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Hey Luke! I figured that was what was up... sorry for throwing your name up there. I didn't know about you. :"> I appreciate all the information. Thanks for looking up the address! I'll be trying to get some info out of this guy. The bank is giving some stuff over to the FBI, so hopefully eventually this guy will slip up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
