Forgot to mention. The Asda butchers choice smoked gammon joint, 1.6kg is still going through at £3. Just make sure you don't pick up the 1.4kg with the £7 sticker on it.:D

The barcode for the £3 ones, ends 0578:)

Got an odd one for you guys.

Mate of mine just came in. He's advertised his car in a couple of local rags and gumtree. A fellah emailed him last week saying he'd take his word for the description of the car and needed it for work and would send him a cheque.Value was going to be £900 for the car plus 20 quid the guy offered for taking his word by mail.

Bloke then emailed him a couple of days to see if the cheque had arrived.It arrived today. A bankers draft from an irish bank for £3000. It arrived by airmail from togolaise!!!

Apparently once the money is cleared my mate is to email him so he can organise for the car to be collected.

Sounds like a scam of some description to me but no idea what the angle would be here. Any ideas???

Yes, I used to 3 x £30/£40 I will now do 6 x £15

I did make a mistake and I did do 8 at the same time. Just spent 30 minutes at the self checkout. The SV knows me and we just had a chat.

Surprised, I am.

Not swear words at all. I don't see the need to swear, my !!! were for people to put there own interpretation on what words are appropriate.

It sounds like he'll get a chargeback of some sort once the car has been collected:eek:Sounds very very strange;)

Def sounds dodgy
What about money laundering we have to be careful at work when people order currency different to the country they are going to etc maybe this is another way around that.

Sounds like a scam to me. Why couldn't he pay cash when he picks the car up?
They ask for the 'extra cash' back and then cancel the bankers order!!
