Hello,
Qld Fair Trading are a strange mob to deal with, I was chasing money from a camper trailer manufacturer on the outskirts of Brisbane and I spoke to a dude by phone, ( I live in WA ) and he asked if I knew any " bikers " in Brisbane, and send them to pay a visit?

I declined his advice and told him to get off his **** and do his job!

It took awhile but did get a $2000 refund after a monumental battle, I sold the trailer at a loss.

I also bought car parts from one of the Southern States of America, after 6 months of waiting Westpac refunded my $1800 US, but unknown to me they contacted the State Police, geez I thought, good on Westpac, the local State police in Louisiana paid this dude a visit?
I got my parts 6 weeks later, wow what good service!
I had to just repay Westpac and job done.

Maybe the fellow who was ripped off should try contacting the US or Canadian Police, scammers and thieves hate cops, they usually have other scams on the boil!

I was lucky but also very dogged and determined.

Sorry you got ripped off, hope alls good now!

Regards Billy.
