Indeed.

It's probably appropriate for anyone who's not received goods to raise a money claim against J Collingridge.  You might also draw his attention to the incomplete deals via his Twitter account and Facebook page.

I can't see his photography website.  Depending on how he's registered that, you might also find a home address quite easily.

[edit]

Just checked the registrant address for the website - it appears to be registered to his home address in Chesham, Bucks.  Think that should be sufficient to raise a money claim against him.

Registrant Details

Money Claim site

His full name is Jonathan Collingridge. Nice of him to put it as a metatag in his photography website source code. A simple 'page source' will reveal it

TTony

Details from the British Institute of Professional Photographers (where he's a member), are the same as the registrant address for his website;

Fuckin hell. This sounds seriously shady.

Doesn't this constitute fraud? If that is the case, wouldn't the authorities be interested?

By the way, another ^:)^ to @Heartfeltdawn - good work fella!

I fucking hate scumbags like this. Does the mobile number plastered all over his website tie up with any numbers that his targets here have? Cos it's probably an important number for him, and maybe one that can be contacted. Lots.

ChrisMusic

A simple "Who Is" search reveals the same for the website registrant.

edit: just read the previous posts made while I was researching, maybe I am late to the party with this tit-bit, doh

However, do you have a way to corroborate the link to the user IDs used here @TTony ?

Excellent photography BTW.

Ironically he originally comes from about 10 miles up the road from me in Meltham!!

Found out quite a bit about him. How good is the internet eh!

He seems to have doing this for years:

Have a look at this:

ellangus, can I also suggest adding the other user names to the title, and OP, so that anyone recognising a dodgy trade with any of them can hone in on this thread, as with the banned IDs, this is the only current point of contact for this issue.

Quoted from TTony's post above:

" From what I can see, it looks like the following user IDs are affected;

emerger

jridge

kittybasket

lexerr

scalded_ape

mitchellrob  "

I was thinking more of IP / ISP type stuff ?

Any corroboration through other members dealings on here with contact info would help in that regard too.

Too good, isn't that right, Sharon... I mean Angus?

Heartfeltdawn

He's also an author.

And complains about scam companies here:

And look, he makes a ton of excuses here for his fuckups.

Sounds like a complete prick. 

ChrisMusic

@rlw + @robwright ~ did you get involved ?

why do the @ notifications decide to be so obstinate sometimes ?

@smudge_lad did you have dealings with jridge ?

It looks like the same pedal too, Keeley* DS-1

I think we should blame* @viz for all this, after all he is the king of Keeley  !    

without him I would never have succumbed to GAS's subtle (!) temptations

Heartfeltdawn

And this will do for now as I have ice cream to eat.

Well done for being quick to alert us. Sorry for the guys who got stung.

Wowzers....so actual con merchant not just lazy arsed/broke musician as usual. Great detective work here once again. You guys scare me sometimes ;-)

Just sent an email to Paypal to see if anything can be done.

May be worth others doing the same.

They might possibly freeze his account, don't know, but it's worth a shot

I'm going to speak to the Police next if nothing gets resolved.
