Re: Advice for money lost to eBay scammer
No problem, I know how frustrating it can be.
Did you report the original offence to your local force? If so, could be worth reporting it to GMP for them to deal with as the offenders are in their area. They may look on it as theft instead of fraud as the offender hasn't exactly hidden what they've done. No harm in trying. It's an easy detection as far as I can see, especially if you have copies of the communication between you. Also if there are any local surgeries that your local force hold always worth turning up and speaking to an officer rather than someone that answers the phone, they may have a different opinion on what to do. Unfortunately it is sometimes down to who you speak to, some people are more helpful than others
