Dear sir[s]
It is with the greatest respect that i post replies on this, or any other forum.
Refering you back to my previous emails, there may be a 'system' in place, but it is'nt and has'nt been working. It obviously needs to be much more widely and prominently advertised and accesible. Otherwise the likes of NOWAK would not exist.
With regard to only listening to people you have in your existing closed circle of 'friends'. Some of your best 'friends' will rip you off soon as look at you. There are no guarentees in life............especially these days. If we are never to make new 'friends' and aquantances in life,with a common interest,or goal, then society will die and we will end up sad individuals, alone.
There has to be TRUST in this world, and scumbag crooks, in whatever aspect of life they exist, should be dealt with appropriately. But as i have said previously, there does seem to be a reluctance to chase these people off,punish them and to properly organise a system between websites, forums, companies and individuals in order to minimise the impact they have on society.
Not everyone who has an interest/hobby is or wants to belong to a website forum. However good it may,or may not be. The point being, to have a widespread ,coordinated approach to action.
As far as larger organisations stopping them ............... what happens when you put a committee in charge of organising anything.
With reference to language. English is my chosen preference. Never any offence meant ,except to those who are referred to in the discussions and i suspect the younger members have heard and use language which would irritate even myself. My own on the forum has and will be, moderate and calls ' a spade ,a spade '.
The reason for replying to the posts has been to see if there is any similar opinion to mine in wanting to minimise thieving fraudsters impact on the enjoyment we collectively have from the interest that we have.
As i previously said, there are a LOT of ' fakes ' that pass through this forum by way of questions regarding authenticity, questions and answers from people i,for one, do not know and have not met. I, for one, am new to making purchases of this kind and so do not know anyone , wether dealer or private individual and so am left trusting no-one, everyone,or something of indeterminate number and nature in between.
For those who have done this for years, whoever they may be, they will have picked up a knowledge of good and bad. Yet still, they are prey to the fraudster who is good.
It does seem as though you need to be a seasoned master at everything, just to try not to get ripped off. This is an enjoyable ' hobby ' for me and i hate to think of those in a similar position.
Its rarely as 'obvious' as 'using common sense'. The world would stop turning if that were true. I agree, fraudsters are not accessing our mattress. However, they are accessing our environment via more subtle methods and appealing to our vulnerable human nature. Its how crooks of this type operate. Once bitten, twice shy.
But why should we have to treat all people as crooks............or be 'once bitten'.
For me, there seems a lack of acceptance that human nature, not greed, but human nature, will always mean these crooks thrive unless we do something about it. Authorities will not succeed.
As i'm sure PN is reading with interest, i have been given my answers, so as this is a 'dead-duck' , will not continue replying to this thread. I enjoy my ' hobby ' and will continue to do so regardless of scum like NOWAK and his fellow fraudsters. I am sure others will do likewise and PN and Co will continue with thiers.
SF out.
