 Student charged with fraud after headphones he sold on eBay for £140 got lost
Student charged with fraud after headphones he sold on eBay for £140 got lost in the post.
-Buyer said the Dr Dre headphones had never arrived, but 'ignored' offer a refund.
-Faris Quayum, 22 charged with fraud, but case thrown out of court at first hearing.
-Now threatening to sue police for making him feel like 'a victim'.
When Faris Quayum sold a pair of headphones on eBay, he didn't expect a call from the police.
But the 22-year-old medical student was arrested, questioned for eight hours & charged with fraud after a buyer on the online auction site complained his goods had never arrived.
The case has since been thrown out of court because of lack of evidence, & Faris, who studies at St George's medical school in London, says he will sue police for making him feel 'like a victim'.
Faris sold the Dr Dre 'Beats' headphones for £140 to a buyer in Lancashire in May, but says they must have been lost in the post.
The buyer contacted him to say the item had not arrived & Faris said he offered him a refund 'three or four times'.
But police came to his home in Littleover, Derbyshire, in July, arrested him for fraud & took him to St Mary’s Wharf police station in Derby to be questioned.
