Not wishing to create problems but if these are fakes and someone is trying to trick people into buying at a price more suited to htf versions I think it's important that they are named as these type of practices could ruin the forum by spreading doubt and miss- trust amongst members, people could be put off from trading on here as most of us will never meet face to face we have to rely on honesty, it's imperative that we can take the word of a fellow member in any dealings
As I said at the start I'm not wishing to cause problems or offend it's just my feelings

Right, listen up!

The member ID on the old forum was "ggreen". The models shown on Lefora were sold on Ebay by someone using the name "Walkerswalkers" in September 2012. The return address I was given for the models I inspected (and rejected) was in Kingswood, Bristol. (I have the full address available should anyone require it.) The name of the recipient was Jasmine Green.

The member peddling items via PMs to Forum members calls herself Jasmine Richards.

Given the similarities in what is being offered (rare wheel variations), their condition (playworn), the number of items available (too good to be true), the display (wooden pigeon holes), the fact that the person concerned is a member of the Forum, and the identical Christian names, I think Jasmine Richards and Jasmine Green are most likely one and the same person.

I would therefore like to invite member 1-75* to step forward and defend herself.

I have just PM-ed her, saying that she has until Monday next week to provide a satisfactory response. I have warned her that failure to do so will result in a ban.

a ban would obviously men not being able to post or use the 1-75 id but what would stop them re-joining using a different email
if proven this would need close scrutiny

Match up the full address and see if it's the same person.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

All I can remember is that his/her ID on the old forum had something to do with "green" as did the Ebay ID. The Ebay listings stated that the seller's location was Leicester, but I posted them back to somewhere else. (Sorry, can't remember where.)
It would be helpful to know how members were contacted with these offers. Was it via this Forum, via Ebay, or what?
I was contacted by via my eBay e-mail address & using my eBay user name (not sure how they got hold e-mail connected to eBay).
To: "ebay **********

Message was as follows:

Hi tractorboy unfortunately I am having to sell my collection of matchbox lesney models I thought you may like first refusal here are the photos best regards.
