    I wouldn't say I was scammed but I bought a ticket to foo fighters off eBay a few years ago. I was worried because the day came and I hadn't received the ticket. I went to school praying that the ticket would be delivered that day. When I came home, it hadn't arrived so I sent your man a pretty angry email because I thought he had scammed me. I had to buy another ticket off a scalper outside the point. The next day, the ticket came and i appolagized to your man.

    Recently ordered protein from a site in the Uk who stocked Hungarian products,3 mths later nothing and credit card company said it's a front.
    Any other folks get duped

    no but my hubby did- hes a soft touch and a bit of a sucker for a deal, and he found a website where you have a go of the euromillions for free- so the idiot puts in our credit card details (apparantly it was for verfication) and lo and behold our credit card was cleared

    I killed him:mad:

    This sounds like the start of a really good joke, just without the punch line.

    Bought a laptop in Fleabay for 100 quid from a chancer that described it as working with corresponding screen shots of a functional machine. When it was delivered it was obviously tampered with and wouldn't even power up. I suspected the MB was fried. It took several weeks of headed arguments and ended up with negative feedback from myself. About a month later I noticed that his account was removed from the site. He obviously tried to pull the same stunt on someone else.
