Hi Bun, Sorry to hear this, but thanks for the heads up :respect
Can you offer up any proof/screenshots/usernames of this/him so we can alert all on our facebook group ?
Please email or PM me the details, PLEASE DO NOT ADD THE USERNAME ON HERE !

If you paid by paypal, then you need to contact them to get your money back.
If you paid by paypal as a friends and family, then i'm afraid you've been conned and you haven't got a leg to stand on, Only ever pay using friends and family if they are your "friends or indeed family"

Martin :cheers

If you can PM me any usernames they you have for him, I can add alerts to our groups/social media so it doesn’t happen again.
Sorry you’ve lost out.
