    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
  • Have you been asked by your bank to provide proof of entitlement to the funds?

    I suspect what may have happened is that the buyer has lied to his bank and said that a fraudulent payment has been made from his account. His bank have contacted your bank, and your bank has frozen your accounts as you are the beneficiary of fraud.

    Not having much luck this month are you. Two weeks ago your car got written off in an accident with an uninsured driver. :EasterBun

    A funny thread it was...
  • Around £580

    instead on just putting a freeze on £580 in my account, they decided to just block my WHOLE account... like really...

    i said to them 'if i were the fraudster, why would I leave the money in my account for 2 weeks...?' (due to anger)

  • I think the advisor said on the notes that it said the recipient contacted his bank, informed them they were part of an online scam or something like that, thus reporting it as fraudulent (if i recall correctly)

  • She only said to me do i have tracking or delivery confirmation, that was all she asked... which i sent across
