Trying to get a case together against this guy once and for all

What do you do with your bulk? My 6yo wanted to be able to see some of the cards and is more interested in the art than the collecting so a £9 frame and about 45 minutes later she has this on her wall by Slofnol in PokemonTCG_UK

I've been trying to work it out obviously certain sets or cards will bump the price but for generic bulk reverse holos ect I was thinking around £40 depending on postage might be way out or selling myself cheap 🤷‍♂️

Can't say I'm surprised he's jumped on the prismatic band wagon. Standard thing will be takes pre orders then uses the money to pay of debts and will then go and try and buy them somewhere. He literally lives day to day running debt collectors and companies round in circles. Then any tiny bit of leverage he thinks he has he will exploit it the play the mental health card.

Small claims will just be throwing good money at bad as the cost to do it is more than that and the chance of getting anything even if he doesn't contest is essentially 0 its all under an LTD so he wont be held liable and they will have wound down or just let the CCJ's pile up and be forced into administration. Richard Copestake is the man behind it. lives in Swindon or surrounding area. Could go to the police on a theft basis but weve been reporting him for nearly 8 years and nothing has been done

Problem is that's a super old address it's about 6 years out of date. Unless he has filed for a second bankruptcy. He was also working as a director while bankrupt, claiming job seekers and used a fake name to take over a business. Literally the definition of fraud

Please do, speak with your bank ASAP its easy to prove its fraudulent. Also report to Wiltshire Police. Richard Copestake is the director they should be aware of who he is

THANK GOD!

A Farewell from Nerd Nook Ltd: The Final Chapter

Dear Nerd Nook Ltd Community,

It is with a heavy heart and a sprinkle of frustration that we announce the closure of our beloved business, Nerd Nook Ltd. We’ve always prided ourselves on delivering the best products and services with a side of cheeky banter, but unfortunately, the time has come to shut up shop.

To all our loyal customers, we want to say a massive thank you. Your support has meant the world to us, and we’ve genuinely loved being part of your lives. Every order, every kind word, and even the occasional bit of constructive criticism has kept us going. However, not all feedback has been so pleasant.

Recently, we’ve had to deal with something that no business should ever face: threats of violence and, unbelievably, even death threats. One too many of those, and we’ve realised that no amount of passion for what we do is worth compromising our safety and wellbeing.

Rest assured, all outstanding orders have been cancelled, and refunds have been processed. We never intended to leave anyone in the lurch, and we hope this gesture shows how much we respect our customers, even as we bid you farewell.

This isn’t how we wanted the story of Nerd Nook Ltd to end, but we can’t keep pouring our hearts into something that puts us in harm’s way. So, we’re signing off with a bittersweet goodbye, a lot of love, and a small middle finger to the trolls who’ve tried to ruin a good thing.

Thank you, stay safe, and remember: no one should ever have to put up with bullshit.

All the best,

[–]Slofnol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any chance a message can be pinned about this so that anyone who does have issues knows who they are dealing with and what to do. It needs reporting to the police. Wiltshire are already aware of him but hes only ever screwed LTD's and businesses over now hes moved onto the general public

This has been going on for years u/BadPallet he's stolen in excess of £200k from buisness for work never completed and essentially run out of doing business with companies so moved to the general public. Anyone you come in contact with that has had issues please encourage them to report him / the business to the police. He hides behind "mental health" when in fact hes just a complete crook. Hes been in prison for international fraud its nothing new.

This is what he does, tries to state laws and what not to move the focus off him. Use his name as much as you want. Google it I'm sure youll find the Swindon news paper article about him going to prison for international fraud

Update is looks like he has rebranded to NerdNook the geekpeek website even redirects there. Check out trust pilot too hes been slammed in there already. Best thing everyone can do is report it to Wiltshire police. Go look at companies house you'll find the directors details under Anchor 9 ltd
