[QUOTE="PGowdy, post: 197300, member: 2042"] Hate to rub it in too but we have had this happen on here many times and over and over again it's been said - [u]don't pay unknown members by 'gift'[/u]. On ebay i pay people i don't know by gift from time to time. As long as it's not scary money. Largely because (tho not always) the fact that you know their ebay account and personal details they are not looking to get themselves in bother but signing up here you could be anybody. Google some pictures. Post them here ask for money and scarper. Easy. You could make about a grand in an afternoon and then move on to different forums. The only thing that could stop a scam like that working is if members refuse (politely) to pay somebody they don't know by gift. Instead offer to pay the measly 4% (even of £400 that's just not a lot of money for piece of mind.) Being trusting is not such a bad thing but unfortunately people are out there to rip people off. Even on this forum. Now onto more proactive talk. I trust you have his email address since you sent him money via paypal? This can be used to find out his name, facebook account, address and possibly where he works all that info and proper warning posts should be posted on SWCC, TIG and RS. Also, if you can find his ebay account then let the ****ing begin. [/QUOTE]
