For Sale: codswallop ( Charlie Z Harris - crazygill85@hotmail.co.uk ) defrauding people

I assume it was Velocio who edited it, so yes. None of the cached pages show it up.

I have reported the fraud and been given a crime number. I mentioned in the space for additional information that I am one of many who have been defrauded by Charlie Z Harris, and would suggest that others who have lost money do the same, and also include links to the thread. Because each report needs individual dates and amounts of bank transfers, as well as victims' details, I think that is the only real solution rather than trying to do one report for a whole list.

I also included a link to the partial list compiled by DancefloorTerrorist in the information so the police can see the total amount that has been unlawfully gained.

There was also an option to tick if it included Royal Mail, so hopefully they may be able to do this:

Basically the police just find a contact at Royal Mail (they'll already have a department contact for this), they'll provide the basic evidence "we're looking for proof that packages were sent from X post office to addresses A, B and C", and Royal Mail will do a search and provide an answer. The officer will ask for a statement to be given to that effect, which will likely be done over the phone and then a scan emailed over for a signature and return by post. Finally the police will confirm that a Royal Mail rep is prepared to stand at a trial and support their statement if needed.

The police won't access CCTV, or speak to post office staff... they'll just get Royal Mail to do a metadata search. It's the least amount of effort on behalf of everyone, which in the mind of the officer involved is the most time and cost efficient thing to do.

I would recommend others he has ripped off go here: http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report-a-fraud-including-online-crime

There are plenty of options involving web forum-based scamming, so it is obviously something they come across often and are willing to try and solve.

Fingers crossed!
