Steve - whereabouts in Birmingham was it?

I am in Tamworth - not far away.

Do you mean they saw your post and called you from that?

[STEVE PARKIN]

They saw the post on here I presume, he called the  landline and asked for Mr Parkin, he said he had looked at the prices they are going for on ebay and asked for £350.00 to get rid quick as he had paid about that, don't know if he nicked it bought it or was trying to scam money, wanted money sent and said he would arrange for me to get it back, I got the phone call as soon as the details where posted on here.
the machine was stolen from Harborne

[STEVE PARKIN]

van was un marked and no details on or in van, but it is also posted on facebook and Tacca

Steve.
if you have the number he called from then just let the police have it.
If your son is stuck and had booked appointments then he can have my portable to borrow and he can pick it up tomorrow morning - I'm in Sutton Coldfield if that would help. 0798 544 6260

[STEVE PARKIN]

Withheld when he rang, thanks we have a spare machine that's in for repair and collecting tomorrow afternoon and he's borrowing my machine as I don't need it this week as I am sealing floors, thanks for the offer Tony

[Mike Gwilliam]

I hope your bright enough not to send the money   

Did he give an account to pay the money?

[CleanerCarpets]

Steve - phone the police about the phone call

There is no anonymity on calls nowadays - people think they can withhold the number and thats fine, but its easily traced if you know the time.

Give them a call or maybe even your landline provider - i bet its traceable. On this link it looks like if you are with BT they can help -

Police where contacted straight away, no money paid or sent to the F-in tw^t, he did not give any details , I told him I wanted to see the machine and I would pay cash, he wasn't up for that surprise surprise, it was him that nicked it, he new details not given out, I would rather lose a machine than give in to a scanky idiot,

A guys near me had his van with TM stolen and he received the same phone call ike you asking for £750 or he would scrap  the lot. Think it's just a scam.

[STEVE PARKIN]

He new to much for just a scam, but if I forwarded money I would be quid's down as well as a machine down,
