Consider the next post: "I was buying this antique clock off TradeMe - I sent the guy the money and I haven't received my clock. Can I get my $200 back or have I been scammed" It's just as easy to reverse it. (why didn't you post there first instead of here? - it only gets some members started again on their favourite Scamme tirade...) Like I said... |

| 426833 | 2006-02-04 11:37:00 | Yep, I did get scammed. Good news is I have the auckland address of the scammer :p. Time to give the police a call. | george12 (7) | ||
| 426834 | 2006-02-04 11:55:00 | As others have said "Cash in hand" then "Send goods"Which of course doesn't work if the seller is the dodgy one, and has your cash but never fronts with the product. Double-edged sword. :groan: |
