Hi all just want to share and perhaps someone could give me some solutions here.
FYI, BEWARE OF THIS GIRL: RHIANNAH WALTON in Perth, WA
On 7th January 2015 - Rhiannah contacted me regarding my ad on gumtree and offered to sell her sealed Samsung Galaxy phone for AUD 600. She asked me to deposit AUD 200 first on that night and she would express deliver it to me via Post the next morning.
Went to NAB branch on Swanston Street Melbourne at 08th Jan 15 and put on cash deposit to her account of AUD 200.
After I deposited the money, she said she had not received it - and I told her that it's impossible as it was cash deposit straight in the branch hence like what the bank said it would go through her bank account immediately. I tried to call her many times after and she never picked up the phone. On that night I texted to her that I would report this to the police and she replied that she was busy that day and she would send it next day.
On 9th of Jan 15 - I warned her I will go to police on the evening as she still had not sent the item. She denied it - she said she did not receive any monies in her account, the money went to her account for a while but it was 'bounced back' to my account.
-----This was a cash deposit not a bank transfer - so if it's bounced back, where did it bounce to? ridiculous-----
On 10th Jan 15 -- Went back to the NAB bank I deposited the money (open on weekend) ; The customer service said that money indeed had been through to her account on 9th Jan 15.
I asked NAB for any solutions, and NAB said that I needed to go to the police and they could not do anything --- FYI, NAB swanston street has the worst customer service ever. They rudely cut me off when I'm talking and they just walked off to their desk when I'm not even finished talking.
Police station will just recommend to submit this case to ACORN website which I don't think it's helpful at all. No phone lines to discuss the matter and the message I've got after I submitted my case "There is no set time in which an agency may assess or investigate an ACORN report. You may be contacted for further information, if it is required. We appreciate your assistance in limiting enquiries, which greatly assists our crime fighting endeavours."
Anyone ever experience this some sort of things?
