Anyone know this guy
No reason to doubt the authenticity that I can see. A Perth trader has been scammed and is looking for help.

I think I've done this before. It's a FB group.
Does anyone know this guy? He came into my small welding supply store in Rockingham on 23rd Jan. He purchased a gas bottle for $330 via our online store, paid by card and then came to collect, as a lot of our customers do. He then purchased a $2200 welder about an hour later the same way, he came back and then picked up his welder, that he paid for via our online store. Then last night he marked the transactions as fraudulent and the bank refunded him, or whoever else’s card he may have used.

If it actually happened the way you say, then it sounds like the bank has been an active participant in a fraud. But the event seemingly happened in Perth and you are in Canberra.
Something does not seem to compute?

"Card Not Present" is a high-risk transaction type that every business should manage to prevent CC fraud. It is also on the rise and is not restricted to opportunist thieves. Some of the fraud is highly organized crime syndicates at work. They target high value easily moved items like tools.
The merchant most likely has reported the matter to their bank however when a charge back occurs (i.e. use of a stolen credit card reported buy the lawful owner of the CC) the merchant wears the loss of goods and potentially the cost of the charge back fee. The merchant would be keen to identify the fraudster, so Police can lay charges.
Only protection, or more likely redress, is to sight and record some form of photo ID for the "customer" before releasing the goods. Honest customers should not have an issue with an identity check.Mobyturns
