After several email exchanges, they wanted another £50 claiming the first payment had an error, what a joke stealing from unemployed people/FAMILIES who are struggling to pay for food and bills. I will be spreading the word to friends and family.
So glad the Police pointed me to this site, if only I thought about checking before I parted with the cash. I WON'T be scammed like this again. What a sick and twisted world in which we live.
