Benny_C Donating Members 40 Member For: 12y 11m 8d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 07/06/12 08:01 AM Share Posted 07/06/12 08:01 AM (edited) I purchased a SCT Xcal 3 off gumtree last week, had it rock up on my door this arvo and the guy who sold me his unit has just ordered one straight off an american ebay site and set the postage details to me. Now I have a useless american unit and when I sms'd him and questioned him about it he denied it, the sales receipt from ebay had his seller name which strangely matched the name on his bank account, When I put this to him he fessed up. His ad is still up on gumtreehttp://www.gumtree.c...sed-/1002402981He says he will refund me but its a massive headf**k and I'm sceptical.Please no one else fall for this trick.

Its a tough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
