    Probably one of only a handful of rd that has asked for a signature.
    I do hope that you get your money back.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Good luck, I'm sure they will find in your favour. I dont know how people can pull stinking scams like that. You work, you save and want a bit of chill time, not after much.
    I hope they get you sorted anyway, and ban who ever it is for good.

    By the way, I've just been scammed too, but mine is a little old memory card for £7.99, nowt compared to yours
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
