UKASH Scam

This must be one of the best scams especialy on Gumtree and ebay, someone asks you to pay by UKASH, fortunatly I caught this on but, only after buying the vouchers. Major problem try changing them back to cash I have been trying for four weeks without any luck, Ukashout have brought out a Mastercard credit card or so they say which is supposed to solve this. rubbish. does anybody out there know how to change the vouchers back to cash.
:mad:

    It is based on what must be the oldest and most widely known scam ever ?
    Some greedy fool thinks they are getting something for less than its worth.

    Well lets put it this way ?
    Commonly sold items have a "going rate" they can be collected from the seller on payment on collection.
    Why would you obtain a world money transfer code, send it to someone for goods you have never seen, to someone with a chok and bull story when you can buy the same item locally, unless you thought you were getting a "bargain".
    Or you are just completely butt stupid.

  • If people would highlight these scams or keep reporting it this might help get rid of these idiots. there are retired people out there whom cannot afford this sort of thing and any information the phone companys can give would certainly help. Like when the same amount has been comming out of the account for the last two years and all of a sudden the amount quadrupples, surely the telephone companys can see this. I know if it was a credit card I would get a phone call immediatly.
