    Such a helpful video! Thanks for sharing. I’ve not heard of that particular scam although when trying to sell an old iPhone I have had a handful of people asking to pay by bacs and then acting weird.

    If they hadnt been so greedy, they could have gotten you to load thousands in goods, based on that BACS transaction.

    A slight variation on the pay by cheque, then put a stop on the cheque, routine. No one should ever act on uncleared funds. I should imagine there are legal reasons for you not revealing the (potential) scammers identities….not least is libel, since the scam did not complete…..but it would be nice to know who to watch out for. I am a fan of name and shame when it is rightly deserved.

    I would have told them to pick up the cash in person and then whoever turns up flog them in a stockade until the bleeding stops.
