Think I may have been ripped off here. Numerous texts emails phone calls, but nothing.

I edited your post as it contained personal transaction details.

Your post is a bit vague, What did you buy and what makes you think it was a scam ?

I bought frequencies for £12 from this site. Have made so many attempts to contact them, phoning, texting, emailing over the last five days, but nothing.

It's not so much about the money, it's the fact that I have been ripped off, and wouldn't like it to happen to others.

I don't doubt you purchased something from an individual but it wasn't this site!

Can't see anyone selling anything on the Trading post that looks like frequencies for sale!

Sadly, unless you build in your own protection when paying for things then you go in eyes open with the expectation to be potentially scammed I'd say. Others , who transact in the same way should expect the same.

Lets hope its been a misunderstanding and whatever individual contacted you directly, who you then interacted with and agreed a transaction you must have been happy to carry out, provides their side of your bargain with them.

Good luck!
