Currys 97p Game Clearance - Instore Only

anewman

It's in the rules somewhere warning against trading with fellow MSE'rs. Raise a thngy with paypal purplegirluk1, if you search around there should hopefully be an item not as described and you can get your money back. Although I do not know if these options exist when the item has not been sold through ebay.

You are not alone - i've had 2 other members pm me with the same problem.
The advice i gave them was as anewman said.
Fortunatley for me The Mallard didn't reply to my message.

He PMed me looking 5.97 but when he didnt reply to my request for him to email me the code instead of posting I thought I wasn't chancing it and didnt bother paying. The other thing I thought was strange was that I never remember these packs being £4.97. I know they were £19.97 and then 97 or 47p but I don't think they were ever £4.97

They were, still are £4.97 if you can find them as i found one sometime ago.

Though coincidently i requested the same, for him to just email me the code - but like you never recieved a response.

WARNING!!! The Mallard does not have xbox live memberships. He has conned me out of £5.97 that I paid him through paypal. He did not send the membership and is ignoring my pm's. Please do not send him money.

Yes, do a paypal dispute right now and you will get your money back if he has the money still in his account. Shame people con you like this but what goes around comes around!(meaning he'll get his one day)

I'm one of the people he fleeced over Dr who DVD's.I opened a dispute with paypal on 26 November.I've learned my lesson the hard way:(

Looks like this guy is only here to rip people on the forum off. It's a shame.

Let him enjoy the moment....BECAUSE HE WON'T WHEN HE'S FOUND!

I put a complaint in with paypal as soon as I realised he had conned me. I haven't heard anything as yet. I did also report him to the abuse team so I hope he has been removed from the forums. I have lost £5.97, its not the end of the world but its upsetting to think that it happened here where I feel like I trust people. I have learnt from this, I knew it was against MSE rules but I took the risk. Fingers crossed I will get the money back from paypal. I just hope others will be careful not to do this.

Yes it may only be £6 but times by how many?
See he's not been online since the 15th November - no doubt has a different user name now.
I wasn't one of those he ripped off, but as I assume most people ARE honest, there but for the grace of God....
Hope he can be traced as this is fraud and the police should be involved.
Sorry to all those who lost money.
