Hi, I'm a new member on here but have just been scammed by the same guy (I think). I bought a Boss OC3 pedal from a "Mike Smethurst" on FB market place. His banter and chat seemed friendly, we spoke about guitars and when I said it hadn't arrived he said sorry about that he'd send me the postal receipt but then stopped all correspondance. I sent an email to the address he gave me for the paypal payment (I stupidly agreed to friends and family as he seemed ok). Still no luck. The email he gave me was [email protected] I have reported it to Facebook and will contact Action Fraud and see what happens. I have attached a file containing my correspondance with him in case it helps anyone. Cheers, John
