    Bought electrical items from a country that uses different voltages and frequency to the UK?

    And you think swapping the plug will solve that?

    No paypal invoice stating a quantity of items you are buying? And you paid?




    Kids are off school this week and its too cold to play out?

    Nope. The idea that a student in the UK would pay $3000 for someone in the States to buy 300 mini-cookers on their behalf sounds exceedingly implausible.

    Ah, Paddy? You've got nothing to worry about. I bought fifty gold bars from him for £10 a few weeks ago.

    I was a little worried he'd scammed me, but last week he sent me an email saying that they'd been dispatched, so they'll be here any day. Great guy!

    I saw a business opportunity, so i bought them as they were cheap :(

    And just because seller is in USA doenst mean they will give goods that dont work in uk, i clarified all that.
