Anyone know or help track down user: lingo398

[gts071]

Hi All,

It appears lingo398 is good at taking money but not real good and posting the goods...
There is at least one other forum member in the same boat with this person.

Forum username: lingo398
His PM box is full
He no longer answers his phone 0413 002 565

The guy's name is: Lindsay Edwards
And he lives in the Dubbo NSW area and has a bank account at Dubbo Westpac (Don't want to post his account details but I do have them if anyone needs them)
Westpac have confirmed the name and the account number do match.

Since this guys says he is in the industry I did some googleing and made a few call to track down this information: (This information may not be 100% and has not been verified)
Lindsay Edwards
ABN: 76022390288
Trading Names:
HAMMOND AUTOMOTIVE 08 Oct 2009 (current)
AZKABAM 05 Sep 2006 08 Oct 2009

Anyone know of these business or of 1 Lindsay Edwards in the Dubbo area and has connections with or part of a freight business?

So be warned of him in the forsale section (well unless some miracle happens)

[Rub]

Doesn't look as though he has been online since 11/02/2010. I have posted the link to this thread on his profile, so that if he logs on he will see it.

Hopefully you get some information to get what you paid for.

[Hi Octane]

Call a local auto parts store in the area, they should know where he is.

[XUV]

call the Dubbo cops , someone there will know him , it might give them something to do .

[omgbees]

Have you tried calling (02) 6885 6476, Might be a good place to go.

[gts071]

Have you tried calling (02) 6885 6476, Might be a good place to go.

I'll give that a go tomorrow. Public holiday today as it's the Launceston cup so best not to call him tomorrow.

Hwere did you get that number from?

[davus]

i think theres a lot of poeple hanging on this guy returning!....

His VZ clubby wrecking add has a lot of questions

[darcy]

Hwere did you get that number from?

White Pages ?

bit of a go karter as well......

Search the page for "Lindsay"

Also - are you sure has has ties to a transport business?.

This (http://www.hotfrog.com.au/Companies/Lindsay-Edwards-Transport) Came up as a "Lindsay Edwards Transport. But it appears to be based in Melbourne.

Probably the guy listed here as a general manager within toll
http://www.toll.com.au/TollToday/Winter_Toll99.pdf

the photo doesn't look like a guy that would be wrecking a clubbie :)

[davus]

agreed - hes much more likely to be wrecking a senator...or perhaps a grange.

[gts071]

Thanks for the info guy's.

I have managed to track down his parents business (don't want to mention the name here) in Dubbo and I will be giving his Mum (Nikki) a call in about an hour or so when she turns up to work!

[GODSMACK]

Keep us posted, would be interestig to read what she had to say...

[gts071]

A very embarressed Mum...

She didn't want to give me her Son's details (which is fair enough) but I have given her mine and she will call in to see him tonight and make him give me call.

Hopefully this will result in either a refund or my bits being sent.

[davus]

good work man......well done.

i wonder if the people who have asked questions in his for sale thread should expect answers / sales, or wether thye learn from your situation! :)

Hope it works out for you mate.

Dave

[SS Enforcer]

Fronting the scamsters parents usually produces results as the scamster gets an earbashing from parents then gets embarressed into sorting it out.

If you can find out where he works a phone call to his boss would also help to expedite the situation.

I know a real estate agent who rings a late paying tennants workplace and leaves a message for the person to call him regarding their arrears. This again embarresses them into sorting it out.

cheers

sorry just had to post that.
hope you get what you want out of this situation.

[bad88u]

im that one other person guys. waiting on roof lining. 3 week now. never answers the phone or messages. chris good one mate.

[HYMEY]

I just read the go kart racing list, My old apprentice Cian won that title , he was there that day, he may know him will find out.

[gts071]

I thought that after I made the post and had a little chuckle... I think a better choice of word would have been 'parts' :)

Hey,

I'm still waiting for the call from the guy or his Mum so I will be in touch soon!

[gts071]

If you could that would be awesome!
Lindsay is no longer in go karts but as we can tell he was a few years ago.

And I doubt there would be too many Mr Lindsay Edwards in the Dubbo area.

[bad88u]

Hey,

I'm still waiting for the call from the guy or his Mum so I will be in touch soon!

no problems chris, if you need me to do some chasing up, let me know

also if anybody else has been played by this guy, have your say now.

[davus]

I guess its a relevant time to point out that before we go fully crucifying this dude, maybe we should wait for gts071 to hear Lindays side of the story....?

Dave

[bush_basha]

Dave

by the sounds of it, he shouldnt have a say, bad88u said 3 weeks he's been waiting, calling him and he never answers or returns, thats saying something

[davus]

I agree, highly probable that he is at fault. All im saying is perhaps get all the info first.

Anyway, over it....

Lets hope he surfaces soon.

Dave

[SSDVL!]

this reminds of the game "where on earth is carmen san diego"......lol

[gts071]

Well no call as yet, (not that I am really surprised) so I'll give his Mum another call tomorrow and see what the story is.

If I don't hear anything back between now and Monday I'll give the Dubbo police a call and get them to pay his Mum a visit and ask a few questions.

But I do agree with Davus as I would like to give Lindsay the benefit of the doubt for now and hope that it is a honest misunderstanding... Well for the next few days anyway...

[Brandonsdad]

I guess its a relevant time to point out that before we go fully crucifying this dude, maybe we should wait for gts071 to hear Lindays side of the story....?

Yeah, good idea. Maybe he has a split personality. One day he's Lindsay, and the next day he's Linda.:rofl:

[Vulture]

I like the idea and have no problem with this personally but would this be violating some privacy law or other?

[Rub]

Hope everything works out Chris - did you get hold of his mother?

[omgbees]

Nah, can take measures like that to chase debts, thats why they ask for your workplace phone number when you apply to rent.

[omgbees]

And yeah sorry, that number WAS from the whitepages.

[crtx]

Mate
I'd pay his folks a visit or head down to Dubbo

what a fool

[gts071]

Well I have just gotten of the phone to his Mum, she went to see him last night and he was supposed to call me.

I just advised her that if I do not hear from him by Monday I will be contacting the police and requesting for him to be charge with Fraud.

I also discussed with his Mum that I would post up all information regarding their contact details including Business name, address and both her work and mobile number in case her son has ripped off anyone else.
Obviously I know it is not her fault but it is her son, so if anyone has been ripped off they have a right to be able contact Lindsay through her.

Thanks for all of the information people from this forum have provided and I am sure I will keep you all updated if I receive a call from Lindsay or I will post police report number if anyone else needs to make a complaint against this person. By the looks of his FS thread it could have been much worse for forum members...

Cheers
Chris.

[gts071]

Mate
I'd pay his folks a visit or head down to Dubbo

what a fool

I live in Tassie so by the time I pay for flights it's going to cost me more money than what I lost. I did think about calling ACA or TT and see if they would run a story and they love a good ole chase of people committing fraud!

I'm sure his Mum would love them rocking up to her business looking for her Son...

[davus]

As much as i feel for ya mate, unfortunately i dont think ACA or TT are gonna be in the slightest bit interested about a guy who ripped off a few blokes for some second hand car parts.

Dont get me wrong, if he doesnt come through with the goods (or a refund) without good reason, then hes a shit stick....

Again, I hope your great hard work pays off. If he is just a poor form bloke, its disappointing people like are amongst us.

Too true... That's why I just 'thought' about it.

I'm just venting as people like this just piss me off.

[VYTonne]

If you don't mind saying are you talking of hundreds of $$ or more? Not that it's any consolation either way I know it's still a trust situation.
Last year got scammed on eBay by a well known scam, but guess what I didn't realize in time & forwarded goods & they got me. Mudder f**kers. :flipoff:

Hope you get a resolution.

Lucky for me it is less than $200 but the other guy was around the $300 or so mark.

For me it is just the principle of it that pisses me off and now I still need to go try and find the parts I want again... That is more frustrating :vpo:

[VYTonne]

Yep, I got done for several hundred & don't wanna mention here what it was etc. I'd rather f**king destroy the goods then send it to the likes of those God forsaken Mother F**kers.:flipoff::flipoff:

I am sorry but what more do you want his mother to do?? He is not a baby she has spoken to him about it why harass her because of the actions of her ADULT son??

[gts071]

Call me a heartless prick but it is still her son, so I would expect her to have a few word to him and make him call me while she is there. If he doesn't give me the money back I would rather get the money from her than me be left out of pocket. So for all i know this is a 15 year old still living with mum and dad...

I do understand where you are coming from but... I just want my money back or the parts to be sent (that's if he ever had them to beging with)!

As stated in the "Forum Rules"

Australian LS1 and Holden Forums accepts no responsibility or liability for misleading or incorrect information supplied by advertisers.

So in answer to your question no ls1 in no way is obliged to take action, you buy and sell at your own risk. With saying that though 99% of the transactions that happen all go through without a problem and yes sometimes unfortunately there are the odd few people who are untrustworthy, like with everything really.

I not 100% sure which way I read your questions so I will have a guess at both.

If it is in regards to the purchase, they have no responsibility. Also they most likely will leave the guys account open to give him the opertunity to respond if he ever comes back on line.

They may object if I post information about his parents business on here as I guess if one of them reads this post before Moday let me know as I don't want to cross the line, but on the other hand I don't want anyone else to get caught out. If they have already and they are a new(ish) member they may be too scared to post in here and may not have enough posts to PM me for this information. So this is a trcky question on the Mods could answer.

However they may close this topic down if it gets off topic or if people then post up in here that they will pay them a visit... which I didn't really think about until just now... Oh well lets just hope he gets back to me before Monday and we don't have to worry about it :)

mate, you are dead wrong, you have no right whatsoever to post up the details of a third person if they are not involved.If the son is under 18, then perhaps a case could be made.If you feel that you have the right to do this, then to be fair, you must also post your details.Keep it between you and the mother until such time as it is resolved or you make contact with the person concerned, otherwise i shall be forced to contact your mother and get her to have a talk to you about a persons right to privacy.

Just a couple of final thoughts.If you ring Dubbo police, ask to speak to Mark Meredith, he is second in charge of the detectives here and a decent bloke.Also, if you want to take legal action of any sort, I suggest you contact the mods and get this thread deleted.

Which is why I thought it was kind of safe to purchase it from him. I may have re-considered if he was only a newby.

I advise you NOT to post up their personal information.. As I stated before in my post it has nothing to do with his parents at all as he is an adult. Perhaps she can put him over her knee and give him a smack for you too IMO you are expecting far too much from his mum.

[gts071]

I think I have been quite fair without posting anything other than the guys name, number and location which can already be found on the forum if you search all of his posts.
I am not posting anything until Monday as I am already having 2nd thought about post info on his parents business. However I will PM them to anyone who asks for it if they have be caught out by this person.

I call the general number earlier today and they advised me to go to my local station and lodge the fraud complaint which I will do on Monday.

I guess I am just venting a little but I have not posted any information except for the conversations I have had with him or his mother.

mate so far yes, you have been restrained! keep it that way! i'm aware his details are available on other threads, in fact I think i was one of the people who posted them!

However, I caution you strongly about posting details about his parents either on the open forum or via PM.Unless you have evidence that they are involved in the alleged fraudulent activities, you are leaving the website and yourself open to legal action.It's not worth it, just don't think about it!

[gts071]

Very good advice, however just for the record I have not accused his parents or their business in any way of being involved in any fraudulent activities, just simply a method of passing a message on to Lindsay.

[DAVESS-V]

Some great advice there.. Its never nice to be done over but it happens. It's how you deal with it that ultimatly determines how it ends. IMO you have been very restrained.
Hope you get the result your after mate.. :)

all he wants is a phonecall. If she wants to smack him she can.
As of Monday, Her son could well have a warrant out for his arrest. Any mother worth her salt would realise how bad that would be professionally.

Small claims under $5k cost about $100 to lodge. Any costs can be claimed. That blokes credit file will be cactus thanks to credit companies reporting judgements.

Really not that hard and bloody rewarding.

[Caprice270]

While i feel for you mate, I'd encourage you to leave his parents out of it.

[bad88u]

i texted him yesterday, that he has till tommorrow to sort this out. if i dont hear from him, first im going to police to charge him for fraud, then put a complaint to fair trading, my lawyer said he can subpoena his bank records and put all this before a judge,

as for people saying its not worth it. we will see,

[cashie]

Real shame you have been ripped off, good luck with getting a resolution.

[ILLUSIV1]

You can not be sued for posting public information. You can however be sued for bringing a persons name or company in to disrepute over false claims. They will sue for lost income etc etc.
In this case, you have not stated that the the mother was at fault. You are merely posting up contact details for those that wish to contact the company. if that is what he is trading under.
If he is operating as a trader he deserves to have the name of his company posted.
Doing this, as long as you keep it honest and non slanderous, will not effect any civil litigation.
This would only be seen as you making every effort to sort the issue before involving the courts.:goodjob:

mate, you have totally missed the point.The OP has clearly stated that the mother is in no way involved. She has been the only way HE has found to try and get a message to the guy.As the mother is an innocent third party, she is entitled to her privacy.By posting her details here, she would then be able to get action taken for harrasment, possibly even get some sort of order taken out,knowing our local judiciary.

If my private details were posted here for all to see, and without my permission, in connection with something that say my sister was involved in, I would be spitting chips, as would you in the same situation.

Well not much has really happened with this over the past month or 2 (especially since I was slack going to my local police station) so I have been in contact with a friend of a friend who is a detective and has a few contacts in the NSW police force who is going to visit Lindsay (or his parents if they can't find his home address) in the next week or 2.

So hopefully this will have him charged, but I doubt I will see my money back but that's not the point now...

ergh, sorry to hear mate, always a risk buying online, i bought a motor that didn't have half of what the guy had said he'd done but to not even get the thing is just f*cked. lot of scumbags out there, sad you can't trust someone at their word, hopefully the lumbering arm of the law nabs him at some point...

I understand your frustrations, but......

Are these official enquiries? Have you made a complaint? If not, this mate of a mate stuff is a misuse of power and could well bring a world of hurt down on you as an unintended consequence.Stop being slack (your words).

The guy in charge of the detectives at Dubbo police station is Mark Meredith ( a decent hard working bloke), and the phone number of Dubbo police station is 02 6883 1599.

Make it official, and keep your backside covered (and that of your police friends) so that the other party can't make an intimidation case against you, and a corruption allegation against these friends of friends......

PS Once again, keep the mother out of it.She is not part of the complaint, and any police officer worthy of the job won't have any problems finding the guy.

This is an official enquiry, however it gets difficult as my parents were buying this for me as a birthday present and they are the ones who have to make the official complaint. We have just completed the stat dec listing all communication and stating that the goods were not received and he is no longer contactable. Now the report can be completed.

The police have asked for all information including any contact informating so phone number, bank details and addresses. When I ask if I should include his parents business as a contact and they advised me everything, most likely the will not use his parents as you stated but if they struggle to find him I have provided another address to locate him.

As stated before I am not going after his parents and my previous comments were just frustration and key warrior to vent... So go easy one that topic as I have done nothing wrong here and only doing what has been asked of me by my local police ;)

When I spoke with the dubbo police (Mark was unavailable) they basically said go away talk to your local police. So the friend of a friend is going to ensure this matter is delt with and maybe fast track it slightly.

bit of a update people. i got my monies back few weeks ago,forgot all about this thread been busy. i rang the mum, and told her i was going to come for a drive to meet her son at her shop. and wouldnt you believe he rang me within 1 hour. some bullcrap about it was not him. this is how it went down . after a few more phone calls to his mobile (not nice phone calls) that i was not going away until monies were payed back. he told me a story that someone that worked for him done the dodgy,i told him i dont give a fark i want my monies, either bank transfer or ill come and get it myself, no ill deposit it for you ok no problems, two weeks went no monies, i made another phone call this time very upset dont want the monie no more want to crack you one on the jaw, three days later monies in account.

[rankys_ss]

alot of stuffing around to get ya money back....but :goodjob:

[gts071]

some bullcrap about it was not him.

That's funny as... The bank verified that the account number matched his name which is all very coincidental that is similar to his forum id...

I will still go down the path of the Police and let them take it up with Lindsay directly and hopefully he will be charged and I may see my money back.

[bad88u]

ill give a call for ya tommorrow. he said the monies will be payed back.

[mikesmith]

[redmonaro]

Hi, has anybody had this prick charged, he ripped me off $2800 dollars early last year, does anybody know how to contact him, has anybody paid him a visit?

[tomholzy]

Mmmm
I dont know if its the same Lindsay, but the name & the number sounds familiar to me, I bought a few grands worth of brakes off a Lindsay from ebay who seemed to sell alot of Holden wrecks & parts, lucky for me I didnt send the money as I wanted to pay on pickup, anyway never seemed to be able to contact him and felt as though if Id sent money I never would have heard from him...
Several other ebayers have had similar experiences with him it seems...

Ill see if I can confirm the name or number

[redmonaro]

I finaly have this pricks current phone numbers and address.....

Lindsay Edwards is at it again, he is now known as BrooklynAutoSalvage on eBay and has tried to play his games with a set of VE HSV brakes with me.

Paid him $3555 straight up, no questions asked, and this guy started from the word go delaying the shipment of the brakes.

he is supposedly working in New Farm QLD and also in Dubbo NSW, and apparently drives a truck also..

his new number is 0401999083, email is lindsay@brooklynmotorsport.com.au & hsvboi_398@hotmail.com

he most definetly needs sorting out seeing he is a repeat offender..

I used PayPal, and I am still waiting for a resolution and hopefully get my money back from this clown.!

[PSI 364]

new farm aye... any idea where? i could possibly scope out the place if i'm passing by.

[R8888]

yeah, he used the same excuse with me, moving sheds..
but claimed that TNT was to pick them up and they didnt,
then he had dropped them off at the TNT depot the next day, but really didnt
then created a consignment the next day, and never supplied the goods just to delay me some more..
the consignment stayed in limbo for a whole week and I sent him a warning that I am going to put in a claim, but did nothing about it..
then funny enough, he ships the front discs and calipers yesterday and holds the rears and asks me to cancel the claim.... he has high hopes...
now he wants me to send the fronts back to him... like wot tha..

[R8888]

new farm aye... any idea where? i could possibly scope out the place if i'm passing by.

I can ask another wrecker that I had rang looking to replace these non delivered brakes who knew him straight away..

he claims Lindsay is starting his funny business in QLD now and he wasnt happy about his antics and the fact he is taking business from him, so I am sure he would share an address with us.

[robbo_ve]

I had the same problem with this person not giving the goods as I bought a diff from him and didn't show up, luckily I payed thought pay pal for the item as I would have losted $350.

[lamont]

This guy bought my brakes off me...i had to open a case against him because he wouldnt pay wouldnt answer my calls etc...i eventually got the cash...definantly some dodge shit going on with bloke

[PSI 364]

Gear is being delivered out of Dubbo NSW via Allied Express if your con note # begins with AOE ???

Same deal with me but the freight company told me it sat in their depot for 4 days before being shipped out.

Yeah, but this was not the case with me.... con note started with SSD... who are they.?

he used his old work address at 1 Bourke Street Dubbo, and when I rang them and asked for Lindsay, I got "Oh No, whats he done now.?"

The item did not originate from that address, yet it is labeled that way..
so i dont know how and who else his helping him out fudge the information for some reason.

I have an address that he sent me for an item pick up that never happened its 11Melbourne st Rocklea that was his shed address

Funny......I gave that exact advice in this thread back at post number 48 in February of last year

[DENTED]

I had a good run with Lindsay last year I paid for my seats and got them a week later but at the start of this year I paid for another item and he said it was sent the next day and I should have gotten them 3days later but still nothing. He now won't answer my calls or msgs. I think I'll be reporting him making a fair trades claim at the end of the week
