    And it was the buyer who mentioned the Garda being involved.
    I assumed Garda were employed in all areas of Ireland before being corrected on here.
    It's not everyday you have someone from Ireland trying to scam you.
    Especially a lawyer who's so thick they don't know what the local police force is called.

    Well, if he starts to threaten to get the boys for you then you really need to worry.
    Yes, the boys will contact you and arrange a place and time for you to come and get kneecapped.   B)
    Kneecapping is very civilized these days, they make appointments before coming.

    I phoned him half a hour ago.
    He tells me because he is a solicitor my bank have issued him with my full name and address.
    I sure as hell didn't give them to him and unless he is Uri Geller how did he get them?.
    He read them out to me during our conversation.
    I have advertised a television on gumtree too because we have just upgraded.
    He has contacted me on there saying he is interested in them 
    He lives in Belfast I'm in Manchester.
    Really?

    Your bank will not even talk to him. His bank would not even give it to him even if he was the police without a court order. And that is months down the line.

    I was sceptical to start with. All I can see now is in PINK
    Life in the slow lane
  • Why would they do that?  Do you know they have good reason to believe you are a scammer?

    Let's see the video!!!!

    C'mon!  Respond.

    The buyer will have more than a hole in his shoe if I don't get my item returned if my bank refunds him.
