The Raven Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Phone call from paul lane. From the police mag, asking if i want to pay for advert space. They claim to be funded by the goverment. I agree that i want the space and a price. 30 seconds later i get a call from his art work people! They confirm that i want the space and tell me they will email the details and post me a hard copy. Im thinking this is very odd for a bank hoilday. Then the penny drops they ask for payment now! and they only have mob numbers! A quick search on the net shows it to be a scam, i await the phone call where they claim i had entered into a verbel contract with them and they will threaten to take me to court. I phone paul back and tell him its a scam, he hangs up I have phoned the local police and they have now logged it as attempted fraud and will be sending someone out to me. All the fun of the fair here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
