I was scammed by Mark Anthony Hoodless (although when asked for details to pay to his account he gives the name Mark Anthony Hood as its harder to pick up internet threads of his activities). He scammed me for a Samsung Galaxy S3 he supposidly had from work as a "freebie", we transacted via bank transfer as he seemed to be the genuine thing, but after that, it all changed. Mr Hoodless was impossible to get on the phone and only randomly answered, I finally got through on the Friday to him and told me the phone was posted, I asked for tracking and he said would mail me them over. Another week goes by nothing, then random emails stating he has mail issues, been busy, but still when on mail on not ONE email can he say yes I have posted it, here is the tracking number.

I reported him to Nottingham police shortly after he started giving me the run around on email, it was there that I found out he was known, and was in trouble for simliar offences and was supposed to be behaving.

Another week goes by, low and behold another mail, god knows why when he is scamming people he keeps in touch, but I suppose its all the front he puts up, some people may give up I believe and get embarrased to report and admit a piece of scum like this has got them.

I finally confronted Mark on the phone, oh no I am not Hoodless, thats not me, hang on the police told me, again persisted not him. The best thing of this is I called the police for an update on the case, and to my SHOCK I was told I called two days ago to say I had a refund, UMM NO I DID NOT CALL, so someone else did, pretended to be me and did this with my details. Well that is now also being investigated, and come the end of August hes going to have a very interesting meeting with Notts police to have a chat about scamming me, I am quite looking forward to the courts dishing out compensation order.

The numbers and names he has been using on Gumtree are (Personal Info Removed) (using mark and [email protected], he then realised I was getting his adverts reported for scams so he changed the name to Ray and the mail address of [email protected], realising that wasnt working well also gave the number (Personal Information Removed), this was one saying ray in title but then contact Mark or Helen on the number. My friend mailed this address and he responded its Helens dad and call them in the evening, be warned he will take deposit for car to secure then you wont be able to get to see it, or your money. On the email he also gave a mobile number of (Personal Information Removed), this I am sure is (Personal Information Removed) number and when I called this mobile the same girl answered the phone. Nice to know they have such a strong relationship that he can implicate her in his crimes. I noticed another scambook notice that mentioned @hwilmz being her twitter account, well that would make sense as the hotmail address when they mail from it also states hwilmz, really not a bright one. There is also a cracking picture of a chap with a little rat beard on the @hwilmz twitter account at the moment which matches up to the various twitter, youtube vids etc of Mark the actor (he might want to invest some of the money from crime in acting lessons) thought people who have been done might want to put it somewhere.

  • On Tue 11th of august I can confirm that mark hoodless emailed me stating he had given me a full refund, I checked ny account account and the money had been returned. It was totally out of blue as we never reached and agreement but it was the right thing to do. I have now updated Nottingham police of this fact as well and await feedback.

  • So far I can't say I've been as fortunate as you. No contact from Mr Hoodless, and no money returned to my account. Still waiting for end of month when the police say they will interview him. Guess it's just wait and see.

  • As I am sure you are aware justice has been done on the serial liar and conman, Mark Anthony Hoodless. He is now serving 10 months for fraud, you can confirm this with Nottingham Crown Court on 0115 910 3551 quoting his name and case number T20127712. Well done everyone for standing up for what was right and ensuring he got what he deserved.
