That was the end of our skype conversation and contact in general

was pictures of giving them the rsgp, editting out for now

I realise that I don't have proof of the fraudulent payment, but my bank contacted me and I'm waiting for paper/email evidence of it.
They notified me via a telephone call. So if nothing else just give a TWC to this user for now, they're a newcomer anyways. I know people would never go first to a newcomer anyways, this is more to show that they WILL scam you if they buy anything from you using UKBT - so be aware.

 

ISn't there a way to login online to show that the payment is on hold or something? We'd need evidence of that

 

I'm not able to log in to my bank because of this, while the investigation is undergoing.

 

That has got to be the worst oversight by whatever bank you're using. Unfortunately, I believe the e-transfer interac system is similar when facing disputes of larger size.

I'll make a precautionary ban; however, I will leave this open. Please do provide that proof ASAP.

 

I think it's more the bank wanting to prevent me withdrawing/moving fraudulent money in the event that I was in on the scheme, which is understandable but not logging in at all is a bit of an oversight yes.
Soon as I'm able to log in I will get the proof

 

@Basement any update?

 

Apologies, I forgot to come back to this thread. I can't get any proof of it due to all my discussion with the bank being via telephone, but the issue is now resolved and I lost out on the GP and the IRL money as it was given back to the rightful owner, which sucks but there's nothing I can do. If nothing else people should just be wary of bank transfers for the mean time, and if you want to unban them go for it as they'll probably scam while vading anyways. If you want a picture of my bank and the payment automatically being taken out I can pm you it.

 

@Basement please do PM me that picture

 

Cheers,
