Dear followers
Potential fraud warning for anyone running a business to watch out for. I got hit today asking to buy a pet coffin urgently. Would not pay by credit card, asked to pay by bank transfer. Payment which should have been £190 came in as £4900 , followed by an email saying my partner should have paid the builder and got it wrong. Like a soft touch with time getting late in the day I sent the coffin, speaking to my bank it transpires someone paid a personal cheque in via a branch, my online bank showed the funds on my balance but I had not noticed it was a cheque. It jsut seemed odd , if I had refunded I would be out of pocket by £4900 the cheque will bounce and some poor person in Leamington SPA is going to receive a big parcel they know nothing about!!!! I am out of pocket by a couple of hundred and have spent a couple of hours trying to sort this mess out . So watch out, always be on your toes, use the force, go with your gut , if I doubt speak to you bank.
