If this wasnt so serious, i would be laughing myself silly with your naiveness.

Theres a few points i'd like to ask.

Did you read his feedback fully before making such a big purchase?
Did you consider the vouchers might not have worked the minute you bought it?
Did you not consider that using a credit card to pay would have safer for such a large amount of money?
Did the seller explain why he had so many vouchers to sell in the first place?
and lastly did amazon explain why the voucher were cancelled?

Sorry, but the seller is screaming out scammer to me, and it seems to me you did little to protect yourself.

I do feel sorry for your loss, doesnt sound very likely you will get your money back, unless you find his address and know a rugby team to take with you. As the saying goes once burned twice shy, I hope you will be more cautious next time

forsight is a wonderful thing

What ever happens, it doesn't matter if he was silly enough to buy vouchers from eBay, the guy didn't deserve to be scammed. I do hope you get your money back although it's very unlikely.

the images for the satnav auctions point to the above NTLworld domain

i'd suggest emailing [EMAIL="crozzy_uk@ntlworld.com"]crozzy_uk@ntlworld.com[/EMAIL] with something 'generic' and see if you geta response

it could be the same person, it may just be that the git has stolen the piccies from someone else

does look like the auction was ripped from

Your amazing. I just got this in my email today:

Hi sorry been on holiday with no access to a PC, i assumed Paypal had sorted it for you, if you give me the email address to send the cash to i will send it with my new paypal account asap, £8.90 wasnt it ?

Except it was £900, I replied back asking for a phone number to talk to him..

thats probably the leftover change of the £900 from his holiday :rolleyes:

I've received a very nasty PM from that member Jermima. I wouldnt trust him/her at all.

They're a strange one... seems to be two different people using that ID, based on their previous posts.

Did you get this sorted!

I've got the same problem but only for £26, i know all his details, i've contacted him, but he still doesn't sent item or refund. If he didn't live so far away i'd be on his doorstep in a flash.
