RFChris Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 Gutted for you, i really am. People like that shouldn't be able to get away with it. I hope you manage to resolve something with the police though. I fear the name Alan Smith is a little generic though so might be a fake. Sorry again, but good luck sorting it out. PS, i had to edit the number I'm afraid, and while i fully understand your upset i can't let OSF host a number that could possibly start receiving angry calls. Not only would it bring us into the frame, it would also hurt your chances should you ever get to prosecution. Sorry! Chris
mk2_escort_chick Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 I would never send money out. Cash on collection i'm afraid
escort21 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 Arsehole love to catch up with these type of people, sorry to hear that, hope the kids aren't to upset ..why not try getting a rescued puppy from a home, the're all loney and need homes

Smudger105e Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 I have heard that any money transfer using Western Union can be a little dodgy, can anyone else confirm that?
mk2_escort_chick Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 I only pay by cash on collection on flea bay and have sent the occasional cheque. Someone tried scamming us but i picked up on it. I never transfer money
Cookie Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 I have heard that any money transfer using Western Union can be a little dodgy, can anyone else confirm that? Oh yes, if you hear western union being mentioned RUN A MILE!!!! totally untracable, if you think paypal is dodgy, they aint got fook all on the old western union! Sorry to read what happened, un-believable people can do this, especially after getting into the emails with the kids etc, so wrong!

Smudger105e Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 Add the Daily Mirror to your list, thay have a page every week dedicated to exposing scammers. Can't remeber the two guys whose name they use for the page though...

escortmad79 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 I have heard that any money transfer using Western Union can be a little dodgy, can anyone else confirm that? Yes, Ebay banned payment transactions via Western Union due to the number of Nigerian scammers using it for fraudulant purposes
Mr.Sumo Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 Know where your coming from Darkangel Had the same sh*te when i was trying to buy a Staff pup . Went through the Sun adverts , saw this number and ad for 1 , sent e-mail , he replied that the said Staff was in Egypt , and i should pay all the vets , import costs etc.....told him to go fook himself Reported it to the Sun , and last i heard he was caught out and removed from advertising .... Scum like that should be removed from this planet full stop
