alchresearch Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 "Based in the highlands" rings alarm bells for me. There's a few scams where people claim they're in a remote region in order to convince you to deal by electronic money transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HJO-1403 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Bank Transfer technique is used by scammers a lot - Can't be reversed. Especially is you've selected the "pay friends and family" option. Which is why they do it, Use Paypal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little tank Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I do hope you have not been scammed but Gumtree has warnings about using bank transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamezone07 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Have you got a link to the advert? Preloved have replied and taken it off, there may be a genuine reason why no contact, but its unlikely. ---------- Post added 04-02-2015 at 17:02 ---------- Bank Transfer technique is used by scammers a lot - Can't be reversed.

I would argue in the age of internet trading, that protocol looks like it needs reviewing, the scammers are getting away with millions, no wonder crime stats are down, its gone online! ---------- Post added 05-02-2015 at 22:06 ---------- Well, bypassed Action Fraud, seemed more of a reporting centre, local police are coming tomorrow, he may be ripping off others.
