WARNING! Lee Davies aka Lee_Reading_FTW

[BeciMarie]

Lee Davis is a member of the Official Reading Festival Forums (ORF).

It appears that he's been asking to use his friends eBay accounts to sell tickets to Reading, what he's been doing is selling tickets multiple times and getting people to pay the money directly into his account, he has no tickets to sell so he just pockets the cash and leaves his friends to deal with all these people that have been defrauded.

If Lee asks you if he can use your eBay account to sell tickets, just tell him where to go. So far he's stung both Taz and Fran (members of ORF), two people who believed they were close friends with him and trusted him.

Here are the messages Taz and Fran sent out on facebook:

just before Readng festival 08 i let him use my ebay account to sell reading tickets, this was just before the festival.

MISTAKE

he sold tickets to many buyers.. some did it through ebay and some did it just paying into his bank, he didnt give these people their tickets. he took their money and spent it!

not only this... he promised me he would pay any charges which occur through selling them.. did i recieve any money? NO so he has knocked me as well as these people.

you may ask yourselves why i did it?

well i trusted him, i thought he was my mate, but obviously he wasnt ever my mate. and yes this is my own fault!! i shouldnt be so trusting!!!! and i certainly wont be in the future..

i gave lee an opportunity to give me the money he owes me, but although last week he said he would, he has blatanly told me now that he wont! i said that i would inform ppl of what he has done, if i dont see it. but he took no notice! and so therefore i am telling all of you.

im not just doing this because i said i would. i am doing this for everyones benefit, so that he doesnt do anything like this to any of you. i dont expect that any of you would do something like let a friend use your ebay account? but just so you dont get caught in the trap that i did. i felt that you should know the truth about him

throw abuse at me if you wish, but i felt that i had to do this and i know i have failed immensly. but meh, its done.

also if you so wish to then please tell anyone you want to about him or even forward this message

i do have proof to back up my accusations. i wouldnt have done this if i didnt.

thanks Bring on RF09 wooop

Much love x x

You let someone you met on the internet use your ebay account, then not beating around the bush, your a f**king moron.

Yes, he's a complete chancer, but f**k me have some disgression. Alternatively use facebook to contact all his family and mailshot his friends about what a c**t their mate is, better than crying about it.

They knew one another for a long time I believe

Just to let you know, it wasnt me that was affected by this, just 2 girls from ORF.. I'm simply passing the message on to those who may find themselves in the same position.

Yeah, not being funny or anything but it is pretty stupid giving someone on the internet personal details, in this case a Paypal password. I wouldn't even give out that sort of information to my best mate.

Unfortunately for me this message came too late but we are now working together to try and get justice as well as warn other people so that it doesn't happen to them. We were both foolish, but when you have a friend whom you know well and trust, it doesn't even cross your mind that they might do anything like that. We had each known this guy for a number of years before this happened. We have now established that he has done this to at least two other people besides us. This is why I am sending this to as many people as possible- he leaches on to people and pretends to be their friend. I know for a fact that he's started trying to befriend people at Leicester and Reading Unis so if you know anyone at these universities or in these areas forward this to them or just warn them because there are so many connections between people, he might know one of your friends. For the sake of pressing a few buttons or saying a few words please do it because you might save someone a lot of stress, upset and money.
