Ive followed this with interest and its a very familiar story, people out of pocket - seller trying to cover his ass (not doin a very good job of it either!), now if i were you i would have got in touch with these people via PM and organised some refunds to them, its clear to me your just trying to save your company name and fob people off.

Your reputation is tarnished yet you have offered nothing but excuses to the guys, shame on yourselves and your lack of customer support, you could have ended all this with one post yet pussyfooted around and basically shot yourself in the foot (umpteen times!)

Cough up or fuck off!

Jay,

You will never receive a meaningful answer from these people as they have ducked,dived,dodged & swerved every perfectly legitimate & reasonable question you have put to them!

As you have said,this speaks volumes about the kind of people WHO Blackpool are & the way they operate their business as they have no excuse for their blatant scamming behaviour,especially regarding my experience with them!

I find it amusing that WHO Blackpool are trying to portray themselves as the victim in these unfortunate events & refuse to take responsibility for their own actions but as we have seen many times,this is typical scammer behaviour where they try to blame everybody but themselves for their current predicament!

Pathetic really!!!

I see that WHO Blackpool NO longer take Paypal as a payment option for their online store & only accept cheques & postal orders.I wonder WHY that is?????

Jay,many thanks to you & all the other forum members for your continued support regarding this matter & i hope the other people who weren't as fortunate as myself in receiving a refund & are still owed money by this disgrace of a company manage to eventually get their money back via Trading Standards or other means!

Mark.

Lol, someone actually phoned up threatening to firebomb the store?!

You must have really ripped that person off (for the record I did nothing of the sort, the obvious joke made on this thread was the only mention I'm aware of.)

Mark, they'll get what they deserve. All the stuff about police, legal, investigations is a total load of baloney trying to put people off - there are literally NO grounds whatsoever for them to attempt anything of the sort. In-fact, getting authorities involved is the fastest way to flush the entire business down the toilet and they know it.

The sad thing is, we're all expecting them to pop up here with some kind of answer as to where all our money is, and why they have behaved this way to customers - but we'll never get anything from them without some kind of legal action because they're too stubborn and too short-sighted to realise that they're in the wrong.

They actually think that they're the victims in some warped way, which is an utter joke.

Mark, you have a pm on the way buddy.

Well then....after reading the full contents of this thread.....hmmmmmmmmm........


At the risk of being thought of as a crude, loud-mouthed, obnixious yank, I would just like to say that I believe "Who Blackpool" to be a flat-out scammer....plain as the snoot on my face.

Sorry man, but your "replies" to said allegations are sounding more and more like horse shit as you write them....I have BEEN jerked off on-line, (No no, not THAT way guys...sheeesh...I would NEVER condone pornography!! ) and I have to say pally, you sound like the 'cat that got the cream' as the old timers used to say. Seems to me like the guy(s) just want things made RIGHT, how is that "discussing personal or individial business"? I am sorry to the folks that were screwed over by this "business", I hope it all works out, I truly do...though sadly, with these types it rarely does.... Again, mayhaps I am a "thick yank" here, but it goes like this in the real world:

" 'Scuse me mam...my steak is a little over-done...could you fix this please, thanks!"

"Sure thing sir, sorry about that...I'll have your new steak in a few hon!"

See, wasnt that easy? And who SAYS that Americans dont have a good grasp on basic commerce skills?!?

Ah well, just my three cents...or quid as it were...

I have far more important things to do now.........................There is a Benny Hill marathon on tonight and I have a case of pints to kill!

Regards,

Andre

Looks like they've reported all of the most recent bad reviews and had them removed!

Pathetic

It's not pathetic in their eyes, they're trying to protect their rip-off operation from being 'persecuted' by people they've ripped off.

All above board eh?

I have locked this thread as there is no need for it to be bumped every week unless any further information needs to be added at this stage all parties have had there say and users can make up there own mind regarding this company.

It is easy to search for this this thread if required and it will remain on the site.

If any TIG members do chose to deal with Who Blackpool (which i very much doubt now they dont accept Paypal) and have a bad experience then they can PM a MOD or Admin who will unlocked the thread so they can add a comment.

Cheers Jay

Jay has kindly unlocked this thread so I can add my experience of dealing with WHO-Blackpool.

I'm not to sure if these guys still trade on ebay,if they do I'd advise memebers to block them as buyers NOW!!

A couple of years back I had a sales thread with a few modern items I was clearing out and WHO won a few of them. They then paid via pay-pal with an e-cheque(think this may be the problem),it took a while to clear but the funds went into my account so I duly posted the items off to them.

A few days later they posted positive feedback to say they had received the items and I never thought anything else of it,until a few weeks later and I got a chargeback from pay-pal saying the items were never recieved by WHO. Now I know the ins and outs of selling on ebay and I sent the items by regular postage to keep costs down,so becuase I couldn't provide tracking info pay-pal automatically found in the buyers favour,which is common practice I know.

The amount wasn't a great deal,about £40 if I remember correctly,but they had left feedback to say they had received the items and a little while later I'm sure they were for sale in their shop.

Like I've said not sure if they still trade on ebay but in over 5 years of trading on ebay this is he 1st and only problem I have ever had,no coincidence IMO GET THEM BLOCKED NOW!!!

my ebay feedback http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=8160leeg&ftab=AllFeedback

I've just re-read my comments and realised without who's username it's probably a bit pointless,but someone out there must know
a)if they still tarde on the bay
b)what there current userid is

Thanks

Thanks for that Lee its good for another trusted member of the vintage community to add there comments regarding there experience with this particular company.

Cheers Jay

Sorry to hear that you got scammed by those scumbags Lee!

When i posted this thread over on SWF,Bollux said he sold them something on ebay & said the guy was a prick so hopefully he can remember what their ebay user id is & let us know!

Thank goodness this guy was posted in the watch out thread.

This will be one dealer i don't need to do business with.

Good work guy's posting up the scammer's the more people know about them,the less people will be ripped off.

I think we all know best stay away from these guy's.Thank you for the head's up.Dan.

I was dissapointed to see this topic locked but happy to see it sensibly re-opened. I'm sure there are many people who get ripped off and stolen from by Who Crapool and find this thread in google desperation.

Personally I haven't forgotten about them, just been busy. I've already started a government claim - smalls claim court action can be done online. I'll find the links and post them up shortly.

I'd urge anyone to go through the same channels (I've posted info on trading standards here already - best to notify them of the issue so they have a record and then cut to the chase.)

Good luck to all, strength in numbers. Theives like this can only survive so long.
