    No shadow of a doubt it was a typo - It would have been the orders that got pulled for manual validation that would have alerted them...when they checked them.

    It just paid for our first three tanks of gas! :D

    I would hope that FairFX have better systems in place than something that would allow a typo to take place! :o

    Could it be a bit of PR to drive huge traffic to the site in a short space of time? (I may by from Fair FX now despite missing out)

    Its about to be a horrific piece of PR.

    I've just had an email trying to get me to renegotiate the rate! They don't want to honour the rate they showed...

    This could get interesting...

    What do their T&Cs say constitutes acceptance of a contract? Do you have an acceptance from them?
