 Chaps, As has come to light off another forum, please be aware of the following when selling your items on this or any other site. You maybe contacted by someone whos interested in purchasing your item, he will claim hes owed money by someone and can that person pay what he owes into your account and you send the item plus whats left over from the original cheque. this is basicly a Nigerian 419 scam, the cheque you recieve will bounce and any money you send will of course dissapear without trace never to be seen again. you may think this is an obvious con but people are getting taken in by it. DO NOT ENTER INTO ANY TRANSACTIONS OF THIS TYPE . believe i have been taken in and dont no wot to do now,  dan

not rubbing it in or anything mate but dont tink you will ever see that money again.  :'(my dads had a similar thing happened to him, he ordered a mobile phone off a company saying they sol a phone that they had three months before it went out into the shops. lukily the police got involved just as he sent the money and he got it back. as i said, they really are thingys |
