Hi Folks hope all is well.
We have just been scammed out of a load of working at height kits and fall arrest blocks. It's all Ridgegear equipment and the blocks are yellow X-Calibre blocks. Please be careful as the Met Police are looking for these and the serial numbers are being held by the manufacturer and Police. Do NOT buy them and if offered some kit that's too good to be true, please let us know.

Cheers,

Jock
 
Can you tell us how they managed to scam you Jock? Either way, I hope you get it back.
 
Yes mate. They gave ficticious details and when we did a credit check it scored high. Our supplier was very keen to do business so they wanted to keep supplying and the couriers were delivering to addresses that didn't exist!!!

I think in the current climate people are taking unecessary risks because they are that desperate to hit targets. Hence I am £60 out of pocket and my company is about to go bust. It's taken years for me to get my company to where I am and it's being destroyed by a conman, it's very frustrating!!

Thanks for reply, keep your eyes peeled as the "Conman" kept mentioning the Olympic site and we delivered close by. The Police aren't that interested because "nobody's been hurt", bloody would be if I got my hands on the guy!!

Regards,

Jock

Hi Gents,
Thanks for taking interest, the guy used a name of Colin Harris, Kevin Harts and John Walker. He used the name of CCP Construction and bought suerior Working at Height kits and X-Calibre fall arrests. He was very specific in the kit he wanted which makes me think they were bought to order!! He kept mentioning the Olympic site and all the gear was delivered to Leytonstone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Jock
