Best and worst estate agents on Lordship Lane (false posting)

[Horsebox]

Hahaha, entertaining stuff. I wonder if the office junior is getting a fair bit of stick for this?

I am not able to divulge exactly how I know but it is mainly technical and would stand up in a court of law.

Do you track all of our IP addresses and know where we are posting from (our offices; homes, etc.)? I don't see that referred to in the T&C's.

[snorky]

the days of random posting in MBs is long gone im afraid - records have to be retained.

[georgina]

Well done admin - you ol' blood hound you!!!

Heads will be rolling at Osborne Stewart - dont they know 1000+ local residents view this site daily!?

[Ultraconsultancy]

I'd have thought if it was some misguided junior behind this the OS's senior mgmt would have been on holding the scalp aloft - if they haven't one can assume they know theyve been caught and spanked.

We do not really care where people are posting from except when they're naughty.

Cretins - there are ways around this - its not difficult , even using the commercial anonmizer sites - they really really dont have a clue

[peckhamboy]

They do now...

I think that's why the Admin said "mainly technical reasons" (or similar) as there's other ways of finding these things out. Anyway back to letting OS have their moment, I'm going to look in their window later to see if there's someone crying with shame in there.

[Thequietone]

Is it too much to ask for a photo of the gimp that posted ?

You see I do not want to do business with s***heads and I do my best to avoid bad businesses.

Also it will hurt the gimps feelings so thats good.

I think I have caused a stir here after reading all the replies to my posting! Admin are you aware that Osbourne-stewart Etsate agents have a public computer at the front of the office where customers can use and search the internet! Sorry I do not have a computer at home and took advantage of using theirs! Not all Estate agents offer this facility to their customers so I took advantage!

I sincerly apologise to Osbourne Stewart for the curruption that this has caused to them and the terrible replies put on this site regarding my opinion. Everybody has their right to say and I thought that this site was for thoes purposes obviously not!

[Keef]

Nice try.

[nutty]

hee hee - this is brilliant. That last pitiful attempt to get out of it just made it even better.

Can we have a vote for thread of the year please Admin?

[Jeremy]

Did you go back to Osbourne Stewart just to post again, then?

Please go away, you're just making it worse.

[poindexter]

Oh How wonderful

[Ant]

I like how Mrshamilton's name contains the word sham.

[nutty]

Mrshamilton

On the 5000/1 chance that you are being straight with us, I recommend you contact the admin with something to backup your claims that you don't work there, otherwise you will really do OS's reputation some damage!

*evil thought enters* Hmm - maybe Msrhamilton works for Foxtons and this is a cunning double bluff....

[Keef]

I have to admire the way they put "public computer at the front of the office where customers can use and search the internet" in bold thus giving themselves yet more free publicity.

[snorky]

wait there....so tyou were SO impressed with OS, that you quickly jumped out of your seat, rushed across to the PC, went onto the forum, registered and provided your detials ,went to your email to await the confirmation, confirmed your account and then, finally, made your first post.

I put it to you mrshamiltion that this is indeed a conmplete and utter fabrication

I was going to put my house on with OS yesterday afternoon , but saw your posting and decided to go to foxytons instead. My House was sold for cash within 4 minutes of going on Foxytons books, we exchanged and completed this morning and I got a price 75% above market value.

Hurrah for Foxytons and their vulgar little scrotum cars !

( Snorky is proud to be sponsored by Foxtons - 0% fees on all sales until the end of December 2007 - call in for a chat, have a freshly made cappuchino and a croissant )

With the threat of Foxtons closing in Osbourne Stewart seem to be moving with the times and diversifying by starting up an internet caf?.

As stated in my original post, the message was "posted from someone at the Osbourne Stewart offices".

We have been contacted by concerned party so this thread has now been locked.
