    that is very similar to the email i received, before being sent a £2850 cheque for a 99p item and was asked to return the difference

    Anybody else having problems getting on ibootsale this morning? I keep getting "could not send query" in internet explorer which ever way I try.

    Could it be a problem with their site - or do I have a problem?

    I've never seen this before and tried searching about it, all I'm getting is stuff about sql databases - a bit too techincal for me!

    Thanks for the reply - nice to know its just not me!

    I have sent email to their admin but no reply - but I guess if their site is down they may not get it.

    Guess we'll just have to keep checking - I've got no excuse now for not getting on with the housework_pale_

    They haven't actually bought anything - but if a cheque turns up I will also pass it onto the police. Have the police got back to you at all with feedback?

    not yet, although i don't remember them saying they would get back to me and i didn't ask them to either. i just wanted to pass the info on to hopefully try and stop others being scammed

    I've also had an email from Nastri Blazer. Wanted my address to send a cheque, but they haven't bought anything. Won't be replying.....
  • Signed up to ibootsale.co.uk a week ago and have sold 5 items already which is 5 more than I have sold on ebay since joining them a month ago. It is easier to list on as well and less confusing for me.

    Thanks to watching Martin on the box and taking a great leap I finally got on the internet and think MSE is a great site and I am already saving money and now making a bit as well to help try to get rid of my massive debts.
