            Why InStyle MEN?

            InStyle MEN is the essential style guide for men: Here you can find out everything about fashion, beauty and the most popular lifestyle news – naturally with the style of the stars. The magazine is aimed at the "normal" man who is interested in fashion and cosmetics but who isn't an expert.
            InStyle MEN will initially appear in a bundle together with InStyle, making it an unmissable, extra-thick style package for HIM and HER. InStyle MEN will then be available at the newsstand for a further month as a stand-alone.

            **After some to-ing and fro-ing including some telephone conversations, I agreed to send him some gear.  Anyway, he stopped communicating with me, so I got in touch with InStyle's head office.

            The response:**
            Dear Giles,

            I am very shocked to hear about that. There is no InStyle Men in France, and there was never a plan to do so. This guy is just a liar and  as I said, I am really shocked that somebody is using our brand to steal clothes.
            I put our Parisian correspondence Inna Fischbuch in cc, that she is informed that someone is acting like that.

            I am very sorry to say, but as we have nothing to do with this request, we can not refund any clothes. But what we can do: publish your label (this time for sure!) in our upcoming issue (october issue).

            For further questions, please do not hesitate to call me.

            Best, Kerstin

            @Alex just found the bastard:

              At least you got scammed by an above average dick hole.  That's… comforting?

                                Has anyone had any run-ins with a Jason Barlow from Washington, DC?  I feel like he's actively trying to scam me right now through an eBay purchase of an IHSH-33.  He's made some idle threats and doesn't seem to want to go through eBay's official channels to arrange any sort of agreement and everything about it seems shady.

                                        There was been an increase in reports of attempted scams on the marketplace “Want to buy” thread.

                                        Example here: How do you report a potential scammer?
                                        https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?share_fid=19230&share_tid=14300&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ironheart.co.uk%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Ftopic%3D14300&share_type=t&link_source=app

                                        The modus operandi is that a newly opened account with no posts contacts someone with a WTB notice, claiming to have a friend with the item. They then provide an email for the so-called friend.

                                        This in itself is suspicious behaviour, but they are not difficult to expose as they do not seem to have very good product knowledge.

                                        If you have any suspicion someone is trying it on, please send a PM to me or one of the crew, with the account name of the scammer, a short description of their behaviour, and a forwarded PM or a screenshot of it. I will take a look and probably act with extreme prejudice [emoji1]

                                          We, as a company, have been stitched up a few times recently.  We now know what to look for in the new type of fraud they have been utilizing, so we won't get caught by that one again.  But there will surely be a new one soon and we likley get caught out again.

                                          It is so depressing to start a weekend with USD1200 of chargebacks to deal with...
