Well to be honest Ive just bought one off the forum brand new in the box. I have kept a copy of the advert, his address, his reply to my e.mail. And if it gets blocked, im straight back to his house for a refund, or all details on on this transaction will be passed to the Police and Virgin for them to take action against him for fraud.

Agent Orange Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I would never buy anything from anyone off the forum. There are safer areas on the internet to buy goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVAN-Sheff Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 You're better off buying second hand phones from cex.co.uk, they have branches in most cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanes teeth Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Well to be honest Ive just bought one off the forum brand new in the box.

I wouldn't think for one minute that someone operating this scam would work from their home address. I would imagine they would want to meet at a venue in town. And anyone buying in such circumstances really is contributing to their own downfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neeeeeeeeeek Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Always go to their house and ask for a signed reciept to prove they sold it. That way they get done for fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
