He's just building more of a case against himself! intelligence from all different agencies are investigating him compiling a file We will no doubt be buying his food and uniform and keeping him sometime in the future when he is brought to justice I wonder what he is funding with all that lolly?

Recent change of one of the account IDs:



Feedback comments have been made private. What does that say about the quality of his feedback...

[New Forest Terrier]

If you really want a laugh go to qure_uk2014 and go to feedback left for others. There he hands out a real tongue lashing to some one he bought a Bongo off that did not meet his usual high standards.

Words fail.

He's bought this from a private seller for £3300 with "rust around the arches":

Now for sale with wheelarch trims fitted to the rear and some stick-on trim in strategic locations and listed as "no rust":

I reckon you'll find this £2k rust bucket popping up in the Bristol area shortly:

Good work Simon. I did wonder what was lurking under those unusual trims on the front arches!

Hi
We bought a van from Bristol through ebay our one is a dealer his ebay name was a.tarafdar now changed to redcarpet75 i think.
Our case is being handled through Bristol City Council Trading Standards they have several cases on him. I have his name and two address plus his business id and number. On ebay with several of his alias he does not state he is a business and that is against the law. I spoke to the Senior Trading Standards Officer yesterday. If you need any info on my one just let me know i would guess it's the same people.
Shows house 4 cars or more for sale.

Hi Robert

Welcome to the Forum, hope you get a good result.

[dave_aber]

I hope nobody thinks of signing that address up to any junk mail............

[Simon Jones]

Hi Robert, thanks for your update. A lot of us have been concerned about this outfit for a while but while we can speculate about what misdemeanours he may or may not perpetrated, we don't have the first hand experience & evidence that someone like yourself who has bought a vehicle from him. Fingers crossed for the outcome you are seeking. Please keep us informed so we can help to spread the word.

Just been into ADS Bristol, they had just come off the phone from somebody who had been to look at one in Fishponds & was looking for advice. Their advice was walk away!!!

[Faribaandme]

Hi Mark Elvin,
The problem with walk away is that a £250 deposit has been transferred to sellers account thus a walk away is losing the £250.

When looking at ebay impressive so many positive no negative.
When seller gets a negative seller goes “private” now no one can see the negative however he can not sell so he uses one of the other alias.

Seller now informs ebay that buyer refused to purchase seller receives credit for advertisement and any negative from buyer is removed seller then is no longer private and uses site to sell again.

A one day sale so no chance to see van.
Several Ebay sites in Bristol selling with same advertisement and many cases showing pictures of the van for sale with the same address.
1) khkuk1
2) 15122002
3) qure_uk201420
4) a.tarafdar

A quick check between sites notice several times giving themselves a good rating. Example a.tarafdar giving himself good rating to khkuk1.

[dave_aber]

Don't forget :

chillout2015 (previously mustaardi)
rose1983xxx (previously khkuk1 and before that mctdirect)
redcarpet75 (previously a.tarafdar)
s*_a*_b* (previously 15122002)
qure_2014
qure_uk2014
