A fair point very well made. I cannot fault or pick holes with any of your statements. I also agree I would like this to go to the fullest prosecution extent possible.
I do not agree.
This forum has a long history of charitable donations, which is one of the reasons I am proud to be a member. I however think that TZ campaigns should be for people suffering real hardships. An economic loss from a deal gone wrong may be a hardship for some, not for others. £800 is a lot of money, but anyone who spends this on a bag is hopefully in a position to survive the loss of the money (wouldn't be able to spend the money on life's necessities any longer even if the bag had been received). Will we also reimburse the loss of a watch for someone who owns dozens of Rolex/Pateks?
I would much rather see the full force of criminal and private proceedings applied than a gofundme. Otherwise we create the wrong incentives all around: Perpetrators are less likely to be subject to criminal proceedings if the damage is made whole by the collective, buyers are less likely to apply due diligence and check names if the can rely being reimbursed for losses and the money donated to make up for fraud is not available for charitable purposes.
The forum detectives have supplied the OP with Juice's address, now let's make he is hit with everything the law provides. This is fraud, plain and simple and needs to have legal consequences.
My 2p., others may not agree I know.

Ain’t all these bags a wallets usually fake? I know my son has a couple
We absolutely should not.
Lenlec has everything that he needs to take Juice to the small claims court. He can even start the process online.
This is a VERY simple case, lenlec has zero chance of losing.
It's up to lenlec to decide whether he wants to hop onto moneyclaim online and start proceedings, or just write the £800 off.
I do sympathise with lenlec, but I see no reason why the forum should reimburse Lenlec on Juice's behalf.

Is there an update? If not I think the only conclusion can be juice is an absolute rip off merchant. I initially thought it would be made right but there’s been enough time.
Not sure how likely it is but given the long silence on the forum and gap in eBay activity, his accounts could have been hacked. Probably not but people do steal accounts and do this sort of thing.
It happens, yes, but to hack both an eBay account and scam someone with a fake LV wallet, then also hack a random watch forum account and scam someone for a non delivered LV bag, when the photo data shows it was taken on his home town? Then sob story begging just giving account for his daughters back operation, with another sob story asking for money to sue his employer for discrimination over his issues following his back operation that happened the same year as his daughters? My money is on him being a serial wrongun
He's conned someone with another Louis Vuitton item. I think theres more chance of a lottery win than someone hacking his ebay and selling the exact same brand he used to con someone here...taking the photos on the same carpet. At this stage, any "benefit of the doubt" has to stop!
It was my feedback on the Louis Vuitton wallet, an obvious fake and completely the wrong dimensions.
Returned for a refund and although thankfully I got the money back from eBay, it apparently got lost on the way back but was showing as delivered.

Maybe the bag was a fake too
This has stumped me....how come someone randomly buys something from his eBay and they also happen to be a TZ member here?!
In the same way he has potentially supplied a personal address (sensitive data) to a member who was also allegedly wronged by another member.
I think the question you are asking is; “how much data does he hold and has used from this forum, data that is probably personal info on members.” Is there a potential breach of GDPR??
When it’s provided after clamour from many for details of a believed wrong ‘un, it is understandably seen and believed magnanimous when used to help wronged members, but are we as members comfortable at a fellow member accessing, retaining and using such personal data on us? He’s always on the front foot offering IP addresses and, on occasion, personal addresses which may be available from open source but the aggregation of this is straying into incorrect use, possibly unlawful.
I assume the forum owners are aware of the collection of the data?

Oh boy.
Tell me you know nothing about GDPR without saying you know nothing about GDPR.
It's the internet. You put your name out there and it will be there forever. Understand?
Here, look up your own and my IP address: https://forum.tz-uk.com/online.php?s...rs&ua=1&pp=500

Follow your own advice Raffe, please, or you could bring this forum down.
You’ve strayed beyond simple internet research. The accessing, retention and use of data is jealously guarded. Aggregating what is available and presenting it to another as a package for what is understandably believed by many as good purpose, is still wrong, possibly unlawful. The information commissioners would make their case accordingly. Can you really not see that or do you not understand GDPR and DPA regs? Please, stop the ‘good’ you think you’re doing for us.

GDPR does not apply to private individuals.

Art. 2 GDPR Material scope
2. This Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data:
C) by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity;
Any information about the person in question has been gleaned from websites already available to everybody on the internet. From what I can see at no point has any one asked their mate to run his name through GCHQ or the police computers.

Although his Google-fu skills are excellent, I don’t believe Raffe has ever mentioned or suggested he collects and stores data.
Jim, I understand some people are uncomfortable with the open-source nature of the internet, in which case you might also want to consider living ‘off grid’, because all of your/our information is but a few clicks away… And you are wrong to even intimate that Raffe may have acted illegally.
You may not be happy and you may try to jealously guard your personal information, but that is open to you actively taking steps to protect your own information by never disclosing it in the first place?
The reason I asked about mrsammyp and his eBay ID was that Raffe usually only has these details if the subject is a wrong 'un.
I'm still confused about what's happened here with the LV wallet? Was it a sting or a genuine coincidental purchase?
Which leads me back to the original question, why does Raffe know mrsammyp's eBay ID?
Not suggesting Sammy is a wrong one.

If you want your data private, maybe an idea not to plaster it all over the internet?
Whatever you post on the forum, stays on the forum unless you go back and delete it and anyone can go and look it up. The fact that I am one of the few who sometimes searches for relevant posts, doesn't change the fact that it has been voluntarily put into the public domain by the original poster.
Not sure why this is so difficult to grasp for some.
