Hi,

Firstly, Gary has given permission for me to make this post after I contacted him by PM.

I would like to make forum members aware that there has been a scam perpetrated using the PM system of the forum whereby a person is using the "Cobain & Fast Pictures" thread in the "Discussion" forum to offer fast streamed pictures and SIS decoders then failing to deliver.

The method of operation is to send a PM to participants in that topic offering to put the poster in contact with a source of fast pictures and SIS decoders. They ask for part payment in advance via "PaySafe" then do not deliver and subsequently avoid contact. The forum name of the person offering the fast feeds and SIS decoders is "deckers" and the email address of the person that they put you in contact with is paul.verkaik15@gmail.com

I personally was foolish enough to be caught by it, and I know of at least one other contributor to the "Cobain..." thread that was caught by it. If any other people wish to either add to this thread or send a PM then I will pass on all details to the Police.

There is a chance that the perpetrator can be identified, as the method of payment was to send "PaySafe" voucher codes that they redeemed with online retailers. The "PaySafe" company have indicated that they will comply fully with a Police investigation and will provide the details of the online retailer that was used to redeem the vouchers. From there, it might be possible to catch up with the scammer subject to them being in the UK ?

I'm sure gary will probably be able to access their login IP address so you can get an idea where they're based. If they're abroad it might be worth just writing off your debt as they'll be little chance of any action within the UK let alone outside the UK

Get on the horn with helpdesk if I were you. You need a BF account to use the forum so his ID should be in there somewhere.

I take it this is something to do with the Gruss forum? You might want to make that clear, as people are likely to think you are talking about the Betfair forum...
