Title: FREECYCLE WARNING
Post by: tizaala on July 28, 2012, 07:02:39 am

Hello ....... Freecycle.org(R) I would like to warn you that there is another scam doing the rounds of many Freecycle groups. The member will be offering such things as a computers, blue ray dvd players, Xbox consoles etc, They then tell you that they live in Shropshire or Cheshire and ask you to send the postage for this item to be sent to you. THIS IS A SCAM, you will not receive the items, and you will lose your money. Please do not NOT send them any money.

Tiz, these are the type of scams that take in mugs like me ::)  It has taken 62 years to realise that even the nicest person can't really be trusted :( :(

Yes - I have to say that recently I have unsubscribed from our local freegle as it was clearly just full of people stocking up for car boot sales and the like.
