Hi as the title says, i know i've been scammed...
sorry for the long story but:
i wanted some rugby 6 nations tickets to watch eng vs ire at twickenham, this bloke who introduced himself as Reno Attard, was selling 4 for £350 on http://london.craigslist.co.uk/, so i got in touch whith him by email as that was the only contact method, i asked to see photos of the tickets which he supplied and they looked legit, so i agreed to buy them and he said he would go through ebay, so shortly after that i got a response from ebay asking me to send money to an ebay agent via western union and they will hold onto the funds until i recieve the tickets and im happy with them, if no tracking number is supplied within 3 business days then i will get my money returned. Once i had sent the money via western union he said he would send the tickets first thing monday on the way to work. so monday came no information i kept chasing him with no response. so now i've contacted ebay uk and the ebay message that i got sent, still waiting a reply off them.
how ever in the mean time, he said he lived in South Shields, Newcastle, and on BT you can find peoples addresses and numbers on their website, so lowe and behold i managed to find his address information only thing is i live just outside Birmingham so its a bit of a treck to go n confirm this information.
but i really want to get my money back obviously.
advice would be appreciated.
