    Am I missing something? If it is a British company with assets in the UK what stops OP taking legal action against the company?

    All you can do is notify the police where you were in Greece and alert them to the scam.

    I don't think Greece has anything to do with this. The company is apparently in the UK. The OP merely said that he was in Greece working when he paid.

    I assume the OP has tried ringing their 0560 number?

    Using a VOIP number is one way to hide your real location - this is one dodgy site and it amazes me how people fall for this sort of thing.

    No apology offered.

    OP says he has the address. Its not on website, but if OP has address he can effect service there.

    He has an address [BTW there is one on the website, under contact us]...... but he'll be wasting his money serving papers there.

    BTW who do you suggest he serves them on ie what name would you use on the court papers???

    To stop further bickering can I just explain that I agree with you.......in that

    IF he has a valid address, and

    IF he has a valid name of the firm/person who ripped him off, and

    IF this scammer has assets that the OP is confident can't be hidden [eg they are a houseowner], then

    it MIGHT be worth serving papers.

    But just having an address is not enough...............if it's a blokie in a bedsit with no assets...forget it, you're wasting your money.
