Oh dear another one that has a paddy and immediately deletes their initial post
Hey we've all said things we wished we hadn't.
We've had a laugh at the OPs expense, and i'm sure she must be sitting there with a red face this morning. So don't you think we should move on and find someone else to have a pop at now.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

Very doubtful.
She's probably just slightly bemused at all the small minded and rather pathetic individuals who have tried to bolster their sad little egos by ganging up on someone who did absolutely nothing wrong.There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0 -

Good to see you attacking someone defending you :rotfl:
maybe rather than spelling lessons,a little time on here before posting anymore warnings, would be time better spent.0 -

Sailorsam along with you has attacked me I was trying to help others and I didn't warrant the abuse I got and I never claimed to be perfect but if you insist on attacking others then make sure your perfect in every way first which no human is. I may have gone the wrong way about posting it but the abuse I got was not needed if I had been given constructive advice on how to post it then I would have happily changed it as I have done now. Surely the fact I got a call yesterday suggests it is doing the rounds again and not all people have heard of it as I hadn't until I got the call, if it helps one person then that is a good enough reason for me to post it.water £82.00 Totally Paid June 2012, vanquis £290.00 Totally Paid July 2012, e.on £300.00 £189.00 Paid Sep 2012, Scott and co. £989 £918 Paid Oct 2012, s/p £400.00 £295 Dec 2012, o/d £2,000.00 Dec 2012, rent £1,600.00 Jan 2013, mum £1,500.00 £1,400.00 Feb 2013

Are you really so stupid that you can't see that that wasn't a defence but someone having yet another go?Good to see you attacking someone defending you
"Time to move one" would be a defence.
"XXX must be sitting with a red face" certainly isn't as hse has nothing to be red faced about.maybe rather than spelling lessons,a little time on here before posting anymore warnings, would be time better spent.
Why would she look on a site called 'hoax slayer'?
It's not a hoax - it's a real scam that is tried on a continuing basis.

Its 'scam' on idiots
there are many scams out there,the type of people who fall for them will find the 'warnings' after the fact.
The idea that someone would fall for anyone claiming to be from X company just because they are on the phone,means there is little that can be done to save them.
If you really want to get into it,we can go back to why the OP posted it as if it had actually happened to them.
A little bit of research before regurgitating stuff verbatim,goes a long way0 -

Don't dish out what you can't take and if you nothing nice to say may I suggest you keep it to yourself don't attack others and expect them to stay quiet.
This is the sort of thing my mum would fall for and yes I rang her straight away to warn her, she is not stupid or uneducated but she is getting older now and after a stroke she isn't as quick minded as she used to be so I have done the right thing so carry on if it warns one and stops it happening I have done the right thingwater £82.00 Totally Paid June 2012, vanquis £290.00 Totally Paid July 2012, e.on £300.00 £189.00 Paid Sep 2012, Scott and co. £989 £918 Paid Oct 2012, s/p £400.00 £295 Dec 2012, o/d £2,000.00 Dec 2012, rent £1,600.00 Jan 2013, mum £1,500.00 £1,400.00 Feb 2013
