when will you people learn.

What to check out:

1.  His posting history, very good and varied, IE not just in the sales area.
2.  To see if he has sold succesfully to others, yes with good feedback.
3.  Check if items are realistically priced and not "too good to be true", yes

What more can you do on an internet forum?  At some point you actually have to trust someone not to do you over.  In this instance it would appear that we all just got caught by a well timed scammer.

Ive also been done by this scammer jfscooby86, I purchased a tv tuner for £65 paid through bank transfer and he claimed the courier lost it. I received a cheque last week for £65 and guess what it bounced. I feel like such a fool cause you trust these people. Does anyone have any details on him at all. I know his name is Jason farrant- apparently you can contact citizens advice who can trace him via his bank details

Paypal gift unfortunatly.  It seems there were a few of us who trusted him a little too soon.

And tried offering me a cheque but I said I wanted bank transfer.
He said he would do it this weekend but what do you know.....nothing
