    I am very disappointed to have to post this thread but after many PM's and emails to Bgobullion, s/he is no longer bothering to reply and it has become apparent that s/he is a thief as they have not yet paid for the charity auction that was held a while ago. Unfortunately some members sent their donations directly to Bgo but thankfully most were sent to me as I had my own stuff to add in and was going to post it altogether.

    I have a list of those that offered donations and would like to cross reference it against those that sent them to Bgo so that I can reimburse you. If you could please PM me with what you sent and when that would be great.

    It seems that the claim in the auction thread about having a son die from cancer was fabricated (confirmed by another member who has knowledge of the family) and I wasn't too pushy at the time about the delayed payment for that very reason.

    Now, what to do with the donations I received? I'm happy to return them if donators would like that or I can offer them up for auction again. Either way let me know what you wish to do via PM or on here.

    And on a totally unrelated matter, if anyone is interested in forming a vigilante mob for a roadtrip up to VIC, let me know.

    I don't think its fair/necessary for you to reimburse those who send the coin directly to BGO, as pretty sure act in good faith.

    Sorry to hear your good intention has been manipulated by scum. I heard karma is a bitch...

    It was in a sales thread which are automatically deleted after a month. Hoping I took some screenshots.

    A member here has done some excellent detective work so should be able to get in direct contact with BGO on Monday.

    I think that was the auction where I sent them a silver ID bracelet. Not your fault or responsibility house.... completely up to the %$#hat who decided not to pay. It is a very sad person who rips off a charity auction and lies about a child's death. Hope the bracelet got lost in the post or gets caught in some heavy machinery whilst they are wearing it!!!!!!!!!

    Any cops from the area? A little visit might be in order, or. At least to recuperate.

    Googles cached pages may get dumped once some logic decides, so saving the pages may be an idea. It's already too late for the second page.

    Excellent, didn't think of checking the cache.

    Out of all the donators, only 3 have informed me what they want to do and have kindly offered their donations back up for auction. I'll run it against a few days.

    Agree Danman, even though things were getting suspicious I gave her the benefit of the doubt because of that poignant story. Shame.

    Because I moved house, stored them and forgot about them until last week when another member reminded me. Refresh my memory, what was your donation?
