Is this a police job? Threatened by Vinted seller

I was about the write the same comment!!

Do you have the number of the officer who called you yesterday? If so, I would reach out to him/her and provide this new information. This might light a fire under them.

I think this sounds exactly like a smelly teen acting up and unable to regulate his emotions - what kind of hardened adult criminal is going to put multiple threats in writing as evidence, then travel and/or send “his black friends” to your home for £75 over a fake tracksuit?

I hope the police respond quickly and are able to reassure you. And also that armed police storm this wanker’s home and put the fear of god in him.

OP, have you got a named contact in the police dealing with this so you can be sure updates go to the right officer?

This.

Do it now op, instead of being on here.

I'm no vinted expert @Reasonswhy but what is do know from my teenagers friends is this..... a lot of people buy fake but really good copies of expensive designer wear from overseas and sell it on vinted at low cost. They can have multiple accounts in order to try and not get caught up in the id/tax situation which kicks in when you sell a lot of stuff. So he may not be going to quite as much trouble as you're imagining.
I understand with young ones in the house though you will feel vulnerable.

Are you in Southampton? (That's where this account is listed)

He's made overt & implied threats of violence while reminding you that he has your address. Most Malicious Communications complaints are made by adult-sized toddlers with no social skills but this would form a solid complaint. Charges under the Online Safety Act also appear viable

(Vinted really are crap. Bloated prices, no possibility of quality control, last week's reports of hardcore porn showing up in ads they run on the site, & now wannabe gangsters flogging snide gear & threatening their victims. Walk away people, the site owners treat you as mugs.)

Please call 999 updating them. Tell them you have been threatened with a firearm. You and your children need safeguarding.

Wow,what's your issue?!
I've read through as many messages as I can, absolutely no need for rudeness!!
No,she doesn't need to let us know,but surely,if someone's asked our opinion, wouldn't you wish to know the outcome & that her & her family are safe?!
No more to be said, other than,get over yourself love! 🙄🙄

Have you got their address/contact info. for the Police?

That's understandable! What a horrible pos he is.

It's very likely that he's just a bitter weirdo with nothing better to do than make a new account to try and scare you, but he needs sorting out. For your peace of mind/safety and also so he learns he can't behave like this so you're doing the right thing by contacting the police.
Have you managed to update the police with this new account he's contacting you with?

OP, you should update the police. I'm sorry this is happening to you.

Absolutely a police call!

It’s definitely a young person just by the things they are saying - doesn’t make it any less scary though.

These are not high profile criminals as they wouldn’t be this stupid.

I don’t understand how he is messaging you if vinted blocked him - vinted needs to take some accountability for this.

In some ways it is good he has messaged again because if he went quiet the police would have said he’s lost interest but now you can report it again and they’ll take it more seriously.

You have done well to keep your cool. I’d be telling the little prick just what I thought of him.

Get back in touch with the police and tell them you are worried it’s gone personal. This is the antithesis of a law abiding society and it’s why police and law exist.

Report this at once, both to the police and to Vinted.

Please contact the police again. Tell them you have been threatened and feel unsafe.

This is just a pathetic nasty piece of work trying to scare you. He/she probably doesn't leave their home and likely lives 100s of miles away. Vinted will bar them and it sounds like the police will follow up. Please do not worry. That is what they intended.

Bloody hell OP, it's scary that he didn't drop it after his account was blocked. I'm so sorry you've come into contact with such a scumbag.

When this happened to me I screenshot everything and downloaded my account before shutting it down so they had no way to contact me. It's scary but that's what they're counting on. Stay strong @Reasonswhy

Please don't tell me what to do or say, especially when my comments are in fact
much more likely to assuage the OP's fears regarding the idiot's likely ability to have access to a genuine firearm, when others are just tossing about remarks about "an AK47".....

The people replying to the posters who jump in without reading the thread.. the ones who get angry, swear at them, and call them stupid and arrogant etc are more annoying than the people they're replying to. You're literally doubling the amount of times their useless posts are shown and doubling the amount of space they take up on the thread (sometimes more if multiple people take on the role of thread police).

I get that it's annoying but not that annoying. And tbh not as annoying as your finger wagging responses amplifying their pointless posts.
