How to deal with conman
3 Answers
My partner ordered a custom-built PC for his work from a sole trader here in Scotland. He paid in advance but a year later we still have no PC and this guy is no longer even answering our calls or e-mails. We have since found from other web forums that he has doen this before, and even those who did get their computers got them late and full of faults. We looked into taking him to the small-claims court, but apparently the financial thershold in Scotland is �750, much less than the cost of our non-existant PC. My other half seems resigned to writing this off as a bad debt, but I am incensed that this guy is continuing to trade and is getting away with it. What can we do, not just for ourselves but for others who may be duped?

They're pretty effective at shaming conmen but I don't know whether they would cover individuals living in Scotland. You might be able to contact them via the BBC website. Good luck with your efforts. Don't see why these individuals should get away with it.
