Is this a police job? Threatened by Vinted seller

Jeez you have to ask? Yes he’s making very serious threats with a weapon.

After you’ve called the police get in touch with Vinted: the police should want to do it but you can too. They should not want something like that associated with a peaceful trading business. No one should! The worlds gone utterly mad and forgotten what peaceful civilizations and economies are for to have any doubts inthe matter at all. Sadly we do seem to be in a new age of (male) brutality rules ok.

My first time on here, will go to last posts next time, thanks

Please don’t make assumptions on what type of firearm it is. It could make the OPs fear worse. Also please don’t make assumptions that it is an airsoft or replica, you cannot tell by a photo alone.

Why should she let "us" know what the police say when YOU CAN'T EVEN BE ARSED TO READ HER POSTS?

RTFT

RTFT

😂😂
Shall we start to count?
It's definitely going to replace "cancel the cheque"!

Yes, funnily enough, lots of people suggested this yesterday, which is when the OP phoned the police.

You'd know this if you had RTFT.
Or at least, all the OP's posts.

Most likely a pathetic teenager trying to be gangster, whilst giggling with his mates behind a screen.
But yes call 101 , they will likely put you through to 999, this is awful for you !

OMG this is worse than the Cancel the Cheque thread!

I live next door to a Police Sergeant and she said call 101 and get it reported. Chances are you are not the first person they have threatened

How did it go today OP? I'm sure it's an idle threat, and a very stupid one given that Vinted will have his payment details and address. He's an idiot trying to scare you, but if he can't afford to refund your order then he certainly can't afford to pay his 'black friends' to risk their freedom by committing a serious crime over a tracksuit. I work in a customer service role and we get threats all the time and see them made to other people. Nothing has ever come of them. It's understandably very scary, & calling the police was right. But you will be okay.

Omg!! I would say this is a definite 999 worthy! You absolutely won't be wasting their time. You must be worried sick. Even if it is just a threat, it's a very worrying one! Please let us know what the police say, keep your windows & doors locked, & close the curtains. Also,make sure you have your phone with you,even if it's only to the loo! Sorry if this sounds a bit far fetched, but there's a possibility this person isn't right in the head! xx

Did the police turn up?

From his photo - though it's almost certainly a replica or an airsoft copy, unless he's even stupider than his messages already show....

There is no licence you can get that allows anyone to own an AK47 in the UK. Also no one has said anything about an AK47 so not sure where you got this from!

She already has

She did that yesterday!

He needs jailed for this, bloody psycho thug

Police all the way, and for threats like this - especially with the "firearm" photo you should call using 999

If he’s got an AKA 47 gun the police will want to know how he got it in addition to having a dangerous weapon with intention to cause injury or death as he threatened and , he’ll be charged for not having a gun licence and probably has previous. I’d have dialled 999 after the first message never mind waiting for permission’ from MN. OP has two kids for Christs sake.

I’m glad the police are coming round ( albeit eventually). The likelihood of this horror being near enough to bother visiting you is virtually zero - even assuming he’s in this country/ has transport/ would know what to do if and when he found you) - but he should be taken to task ( by police) over it as it could be extremely organised - for those saying it’s small amounts - not if he ships in 10 - 20 pairs a week and the threats work to even just a teeny minority- he’s probably then clearing £50 per sale profit even with partial token £20 refunds. Vinted should also be on this like hot cakes to sort it out.

Most definitely read the fucking thread (or at least the OPs updates)

Good job that the OP reported it to the police YESTERDAY then.
