    As soon as he asked for the money up front alarm bells rang. Basic common sense should see these guys off.

    Exactly, and its the same for the loan brokers on the internet who want you to enter you card details before you get ANY details of a loan.

    Well done on not falling for it.

    Glad you got away, I would have put the phone down the minute he said he was with Quick Quid.

    Said because of my profile I would only qualify if I had a guarantor (no) or purchased a 'ucash' voucher at a paypoint machine and quoted him the first half of the code. I have never heard of a ucash voucher.

    What would buying a ucash voucher at a paypoint prove to a bank? There's no credit or traceability involved.

    Unless you know who you're sending money to, and you instigated it, ucash, worldpay, etc are all scams.
