Its called fraud.
Earlier in this thread i explained what i would have done, and i believe you can still do it.
The British courts used to treat this as a slap on the wrist type of offence, but not any more.
People used to owe money and simply declare bankrupcy, but that no longer works and hasn't for some time over here.
You tend to get jailed for sixth months these days and its an offence that is taken very seriously regardless of the amount of money involved, and to give an example in our local newspapers here a man was jailed for sixth months (standard) for a £400 fraud...?
Things have changed for this offence so i would contact the authorities as you may still get your money back.

For us on the other side of the pond, who is it we should contact in the UK about this?

Ebeneezer, I think we all appreciate your advice. However most, if not all of us, affected by this do not reside in the UK. Indeed some on the other side of the Globe. I think it would be rather logistically cumbersome to deal with the burocracy and legal proceedings remotely. Besides, I dont really feel like railroading an unemployed young father of two, with self confessed alcohol issues to prison. We would all still be without our whips in any case. Cheers
Bravo

It appears that Graeme has once again resurfaced. On 7/9/2012, he posted on COW...
I was hoping he would post this here himself, but, as he didn't I thought I should let you guys know.

Someone on COW should tell him to get his ass over to this board and answer for himself here.

Something tells me you plan to say more than just a simple Hallmark Greeting Card. Steven

I've only just said hello so far... ...no response yet.
I suppose depending on how he treats me will decide whether I post his profile for everyone else too...

So, I just had a look at my old email to see when was the last time Graeme bothered to respond to my email, it was June of 2011...
Graeme Roberts midlandwhips@hotmail.co.uk 6/25/11 to me I can see that your pissed off but I can't do better than months because I have that much to do to catch up its unreal. You will have to bear with me on this. I'm trying my best and obviously thats not good enough for some. If I had paid for something and was still waiting, I would be the same so I understand totally where your coming from. Please be patient and I will deliver, you have my word, Graeme.
His word indeed! I'd say it's not worth crap.
So then, I'll give him a few days to respond to my Facebook message before letting his profile loose to the hounds.

He is still active on facebook and a friend of mine. He is still unemployed, but the very fact that he has resurfaced gives me a glimmer of hope for sure. He could have never appeared again.

Not I.
He hasn't responded to a single message I've sent him in over a year.
If he posts anything on Facebook soon, let me know please. Has he posted anything today? I want to know if he's ignoring my messages there too.

I still remember when I sent him a couple of well-written emails, asking some specific questions about his whips. I took the time and effort to write those well-structured and comprehensive emails and I am still waiting for an answer today.
He didn't even have the courtesy of acknowledging. Then, through this forum, I got to hear what he's been doing to other Indy fans.
Personally, I would deliver him to the Hovitos. And with great pleasure, too.

He just emailed me.
Standard "I don't have it." bullcrap he's been giving us.
Here's my response:
You know, I was unemployed for 2 years until only just very recently. At no point did I abscond with anyone's funds. And I certainly didn't ignore the student loan people when they came asking for their money.
This is the first response you've bothered to send in over a year now. And in that time, I've sent out several emails. Why is that? Is it perhaps because I tracked your Facebook down? Do I seriously need to lean on a grown man to make him stand up for his responsibilities? I shouldn't have to.

It must be nice to have utterly no morals...
I mean you took money from me after you had already fallen behind. You lied to me about the expected delivery date, lied again when the date came and went, and then disappeared for a year and a half.
And dare I say, lied again when I claimed to have tracked you down online. I put up, produced my evidence.
I mean, the very least you can do is admit that you haven't told any of us the truth from day 1.

Just so we're clear, some of us actually tell the truth.
When I say I tracked someone down and messaged them, when I say I sent several messages over the last year and a half, all of these things are truths. And I actually have something to show for my claims.
