Stay away from Selloldphones.co.uk

Hello please stay away from this company they are nothing but theives. I stupidly went for this company as they were offering more than the usual provider, i sent them two phones in perfect working order, which i would have kept if it weren't that i needed the money to help my nan. They agreed £50 and said I will receive payment in 7 days. 3 weeks went by so i tried to chase them. They replied by email saying they hadn't received them, what a surprise - luckily i sent them recorded so i emailed the signature to them and they said they were in their safe?? they then said payment would be sent, i received the cheque alright yesterday but for £40 as i hand't included the charger (they didn't ask for this) slight promlem was the cheque wasn't signed so I emailed them saying I was going to report them to trading standards and I got an automated response saying i've been paid. I called the police and they said that it is theft but i have to try trading standards first. I really needed this money as I was going to use it for parking at the hospital as my mom is in intensive care. Flaming typical that when your having problems in life someone whats to steal what little you have for their own gain.

    Not good, How about sending them the chargers and the unsigned cheque back (take a photocopy of this first) and ask for a £50 cheque signed :)
