Scammed in a swap

Someone here with over 600 posts offered to swap indicators with me as he wanted mine and I'd had plans to fit ones like his. I agreed since with over 600 posts I figured he was a long time member.

Since mine have been sent I've got a message saying they've been fitted but now 2 weeks later I've still not received and he's still not replying to messages despite being on here.

What can I do? I have his address and proof by messages that he's agreed to swap, can I go to the police?

I feel like an idiot because the first time I trust someone like this I get let down. Any advice?

Not really much you can do. Buying and selling can be risky and we all put our trust in each other.

There is a thread on here for people to leave feedback called rouge or rose. So post on there to help others and I hope as quite often happens this will resolve it self :)

pop round and take your lights back or wave fist. post on rogue or rose if you think you have given them sufficient time to react
