Yeah just reading a few of the post, I definatly would be as confident as I have been in the past when using paypal.I lost £35 through a scammer on ebay using Western Union. If i hadnt caught on a soon as i did i would have lost £600. You need to be careful abecause they are convincing and smart at what they do.
Thank god I read this thread otherwise I could end up getting stuck sooner rather than never.
