Got ripped off 18months ago on POTN by a guy with what appeared genuine posts but turned out to be a Chinese student who took a few of us with bank transfers before doing a runner back to China.
He'd done a sale a few days ago and had even let the purchaser collect from his house thus get good feedback and sucking me in.
I have lived and learned and hence am a fan of TP's policy even though it is not entirely fool proof. Suffice to say I will not be paying by bank transfer again.
The police didn't help much either...
So when the EportUK thing happened last month, I did not lose out.
