well me and the new wife was looking for a business venture and decided a small coffee van was the way forward. so we set about looking for a van all ready kitted out and ready to trade from and to use at local village fetes and charity events etc etc . we found one on ebay for £5000 and messaged the seller to arrange a viewing anyway to cut a long stories short we went down liked the van everything was how we wanted it and he had another 2 in different states of build so we had a choice of 3 but decided on the one he had finished. so on the way back from croydon we had a chat and decided that we wanted it so i phoned the seller up to let him know we wanted it we chatted for a while and i asked him if he had anyone that could deliver it for us to save us the journey down again. he said yes that his friend has a garage and has a recovery truck and he would arrange for it to be delivered brilliant we thought so we set up the payment via online banking and sent it over to him . that was the last time i saw our money and the coffee van !!. he told us it would be delivered the next day we didnt see it and he never returned any calls for the next 3 days so i thought right i will drive down to his premises to confront him. that didnt work he had packed up and disapered emptyied the lock up and gone my blood ran cold i didnt know what to think. i drove home and got striaght on the phone to the police they about as helpfull as a choclate fireguard and told me to get in contact with a company called action fraud they took all the details and said the gent and his email address was known to them. when i asked them what the chances of us getting our money back was they told me that it would very unlikely that we would see our £5000 again. so here we are wrighting this crowdfunding page out in the hope some of you can help us out i have brought a van the same as in the picture which is as far as i have got we have run out of funds to kit the van out but iam not going to give up after losing our life savings.
many thanks for taking the time to read our journey so far
