Unknown user Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I got ripped off in a drug deal and called the police. They've just been round to confirm details and advise me for the future, I've got a crime reference number and will be getting the money back from the bank. Mon the 21st century!

I reckon the fact that the guys who do the prescription are based in Harley St, gives it a certain legitimacy. I've been getting prescription weed but it's boring after a while, and you have to pay for consultations every quarter, so when I couldn't afford one I stopped. I tried to buy some from this guy on Facebook, we negotiated a price, I paid, then he tried to charge for polythene, making it up to the value he originally wanted. Obviously I said no and asked for a refund, he refused, and I refused to pay more, and after a frank exchange of opinions, I called the police - not to investigate, but because I know Romanian gangs are committing fraud all over FB etc. They were more interested in the details of the bank account I sent it to than anything else. The lassie who came round told me they couldn't investigate the crime of a drug deal not going through, but the intelligence will be added. I should really sign up again, you never know where it's come from, who's produced it, etc., and that was that. Tbh they were great about it, both on the phone and in person.

That was similar to what happened to me (though it wasn't for weed but sleeping pills). I paid money as they claimed they could deliver to me. I highlighted on here (look uo DHC pharmacy). Out of curiosity the bank you transferred money into doesn't have the initials "A S" but any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown user Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 29 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: Am I understanding this correctly. You phoned the old bill and basically said I’ve been ripped off in an attempted drug deal. The police view this as fraud as you paid for something you didn’t get. Therefore, the police give you a crime number to enable you to claim the money back from the bank? This crime number has been left open for you, so if your to get ripped off in a drug deal, again, your covered? Just give the number to bank and piff paff poof the bank will refund. Actually, thinking it through despite in being counter intuitive the logic from the police is probably correct. Can I ask what sort of sum of money we are talking? Cool if don’t want to say. The crime number hasn't been left open, the case is closed with no further investigation, but the info will be added to their Intel against the fraud gangs. As long as I give the crime number, the back should refund, they're insured. It was a bit of a leap of faith for me to go from knowing I have a legal right to possess and consume, to hoping the officer that visited work see it that way too, but honestly, they were great. I was buying a cheeky oz btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I was at the supermarket getting my messages the other day. I forgot my card and only had £5 on me. The total was £22. The security guard who works there offered to pay the remainder for me and I could get it back off him once he came back from annual leave ( it was his last shift). I thanked him but just put some of the messages back and left. That was lovely though. ( he often chats away to me when I am in the store).
