Account holder : Marc Epaillard
Bank Name : ING BANK
IBAN : PL25105015201000009047130043

Pologne

Regards Nick,, and still pissed off

Sorry to hear you've had this problem. Your county's police HQ may have somebody based there who's sole job is fraud investigation. They would be a good starting point for getting this `entrepreneur' arrested, hopefully able to advise you how to make a formal complaint to the authorities in whichever country/ies that person is living or dealing. Presumably the EU's Europol would have jurisdiction in Poland, now that is part of the EU. However not sure whether Europol would have an interest in a scammer, maybe depends on how busy a boy he has been. He must have pissed off a lot of other people over the last few years. His name sounds French and I guess if I were doing that kind of thing I might use an alias or three. There is always some greedy b*****d who wants something for nothing. Good luck in getting it sorted.

Sorry to here you got conned Jeensy.
I think a few of us now have been ripped off some way or other.
I think passing on info/details is a good thing to do. It may not get you your money or item back but at least warning others is appreciatted.
Remember guys what goes around comes around.
It may not be as soon as we`d like but it will happen. I just hope I`m around to do it or see it or hear about it!!

Seems that the "Polish" scammers are now out doing the old Nigerian ones - here's the famous "Powel Nowak" one that been targeted towards the Japanese Sword Collectors for quite a long time now - around 10 years!

================================================== =======================================

"Hi !

I have two japanese swords (katana and tanto) with the blade from XVIII and XIX century and I would like to sell them for the reasonable price (600US$). If you think you could have an interest, let me know.

Regards.
Powel Nowak"

He is a very well organised syndicate, not just one guy, and many have tried to catch him. They can send you very good fake photos, drivers licence, id book and anything else, but nothing works to nail him. I think they have serious police connections too, as even some Polish contacts have not managed to nail him.

Cheers
