In my excitement I replied and had an email exchange with the seller who asked for payment via PayPal (Friends & Family).
Having made the payment all went quiet and none of my emails were answered.
Fortunately I was able to cancel the payment having spoken to my bank and PayPal, however on this occassion I believe i was fortunate as PayPal do not provide buyer protection for Friends & Friends. It was only because I intitiated a stop on the transaction so quickly that I didn't lose £70.
Having contacted Paul (Reebs) the same day, I would like to thank him for acting very quickly on this matter and for doing the research to show this scammer has form elsewhere.
As the old saying goes - 'if its too good to be true, then it probably is.!'.....

Hi David,
