Callyakn Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 A guy under the name of "wayne4" has scammed me of 125 whilst telling me he was selling a vorza flux, (125 wasn't the asking price of the product) it was just the price he wanted before sending it out. Yes I'm stupid and can't believe I fell for it all, but I'm just trying to warn anyone else out there.. PayPal better sort this! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callyakn Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Have you sent a dispute?? I saw he had been signed up to the website for only 2 days that's what made me weary to start with... The pics he used I found 20mins ago on an advert selling a vorza which closed in 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley@BMM Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I think he has literally gone down the wanted section of the forum PMing genuine users of goods he doesn't have for sale. Shame that there are such nobheads out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
