*stiffles giggle*

I suspect if you made an error (of judgement) the bank will not be interested...If they have made an error, they will sort it (after poking them with a pointy stick)...

Yes, that's because it's a well known fraudsters 'code of conduct' to never operate outside normal business hours.

Seriously though, which comedy bank are you with where fraud can't be reported and/or dealt with 24/7 ??? 😯

However, if you've initiated a payment to another person as payment for something from the classifieds unfortunately I don't think any bank would be interested in recovering it for you.

Being 'scammed' on the classifieds of some niche tin-pot mtb forum will not be classed as fraud.

No chance that a Bank would want to intervene in a dispute arising from the sale of second-hand goods.

No more than if you'd sent a cheque or cash in the post. they're a bank. not the police. If you've been scammed though, put a small claims on them. Oh, and name them here so we can stay clear.

Item turned up in pristine condition!

Alarm bells rang when 2 forum members emailed me that they had been offered the same item after I had bank transferred money!!
He had two of the same item but only listed one sorted now and apologies Barry! for being nervous.
