The Underscore Archives

a) they mailed me their bank details and claimed paypal was 'broken'.
b) they then claimed that they were setting up a new account but told me 
i was to send the money by bacs, anyway.
c) twenty minutes later, they asked for me for £1000 as opposed to the 
advertised £750, then again 10 minutes after that.
d) some chinese bloke started writing to me unannounced from a seperate 
but similar email address, requesting nothing but £1000 IMMEDIATELY
e) a fellow ebayer wrote to me, telling me that his macbook pro ordered 
from the same seller was 'being held by fedex in france'
f) they have now totally ignored my email requesting an explanation into 
what the fridge was going on so.

fairly compelling and it's game over as far as i'm concerned. they lose. 
it's odd really, because i would have expected them to try a little 
harder for their dirty dollar.
