tompw Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 .... Come on chaps - Habeas Corpus, innocent until proven guilty, etc. That's what (in theory, anyway) protects us all from false accusations and wrongful imprisonment (unless we ever vote in the European Constitution)....1) Off-topic (politics)2) Not true (no really, it isn't. If you think I'm wrong, show me where) Back on topic.... my favourite tactic for checking this sort of thing is to ask them to post / email a picture of some obscure part (such as the cable inlet) or the serial number, which wouldn't be possible if they didn't have the item concerned.

Clever idea. I'll remember that if I ever buy anything that looks iffy, although I usually use the cash when I collect approach if it looks like it might be a scam.
