    Sending money to a completely unknown person via a non protected payment method is utter madness.

    Hopefully you’ll get your money back, but don’t hold your breath. You’ve sadly learnt a hard lesson.

    I will agree with you but I've done it myself many of times and so far I've never had a problem, I've been quite lucky I think,
    I've normally spoke on landline first and even checked through social media etc if possible before I send but I have taken quite a few chances, Just a shame that some spoil it for others, I just hope anyone who does obtain money or goods with no intention of fulfilling their part of the deal I just hope somewhere down the line they will have bud luck, Let's hope all that goes around comes back to them, Just some sad people about really who do this,
