Excellent News. Just heard from the bank and they have refunded me the entire £850!!!
Thanks so, so much to all the forum members, moderators and @BackyardBullion who have all very kindly offered messages of support, advice and more than generous donations. It really has touched me to know that the forum has my back.
I know one other member who was effected by this scam who successfully got reimbursed by the bank. Does anybody know how the others fared with their banks?
Thanks again so much!!!

Sorry for the late update, was working the late shift! I called my bank this morning, they took all the info and said they would get back to me in a few days. They didn't come outright and say that it wasn't possible to retrieve the money transferred, but it sounded like the guy was pretty much reading from a script so don't hold out much hope!
I will let everyone know hows it pans out when my bank gets back in touch
On the plus side, thanks so much to all the members for the continued messages of support and especially BackyardBullion for offering his help.

I have the feeling this topic is going a bit too far...
The guy had some decent feedbacks for over 1.5 year, he sold the same type of coins all the time, even @James32 bought from him few times. I was just unlucky together with two other new members like me. Yes, everyone care about the price it is obvious and we try to buy cheaper. If someone really want to scam you he/she find a way to do it. I do not think publishing someone personal data is the right thing to do as maybe someone stole account or something? In the nutshell...that was not a great experience and please be careful. All the best for the rest 99.99% decent traders and good people here! Peace 👍

OK, a tad/huge amount/alot/some/stacks/fekin ell guvnor millions of pieces 

Today we took a precautionary measure and banned an account that we believed could pose a risk to members. However, this does not mean that we will spot any suspicious accounts in the future. So please be careful when trading. 
Members are reminded of their responsibility to do their own due diligence and the risk of trading. Please check section 7.4. Risk of trading of the forum’s rules.
 
You may wish to take note of the following when doing your due diligence and trading:
- How long has the member been active on the forum for? There is likely less risk when trading with long standing members who have been on the forum for many years. (Anything less than 3+ years they are still relatively new)
- How much trading feedback do they have, and is the trading feedback selling feedback? How long have they been selling on the forum for?
- Their community reputation, is it high, have they been engaging in a lot of topics with a lot of posts?
- The optional attached piece of paper with their forum username on, does it look authentic, please zoom in. For sellers it is also best to include 'The Silver Forum' on the piece of paper, so that it is an original written note for a sale on TSF and therefore not the same photos used from elsewhere on the internet. Although please bare in mind that it is also relatively easy to photoshop or forge onto a photo. 
- Do they have Premium Membership? If a member has Premium Membership it means that the forum should have the name and and address of the member*, or at least of the card owner. This gives us vital information to pass onto the police should it be a scam member and we are requested to pass on information. *Note that for some Premium Members TSF may not hold an address of, such an example may include but may not be limited to a situation where: a gift membership was purchased for a member and they have not reached the renewal date or added an address to their account. For every member who has purchased Premium Membership themselves with a card or renewed; we should hold an address of the member, or at least of the card owner.

- Be wary of someone asking you to send the payment to a 3rd party. Having several successful deals with a member who then subsequently asks you to send money elsewhere to a different bank account (such as a bank account of a friend) this time should be seen as a red flag. If a member is selling on behalf of a 3rd party make sure they have the items in hand, and you are sending to the bank account of the member who listed these items for sale on TSF. 

- Be extra careful when dealing in large amounts of money, several previous successful trades is no indication that a future deal with the same member will be 100% without problems. 
- If anything does not feel right, or there is anything that causes doubt, do not go through with a trade.  
 
Some members exclusively only buy from and sell to, long standing Premium Members.

We also suggest for members to use tracked shipping, or ideally a form of insured shipping, this is useful for members of both sides of the trade.
Also, please be polite to new members listing items for sale. Everyone was a new member at one stage, and new members may need some time to build up a trading history on the forum. Note that statistically a new member listing an item for sale is more likely a genuine member than not. But please be careful when trading and report any suspicious activity immediately by using the report feature.
 
Disclaimer: The suggestions if implemented do not change the Forum's Term’s & Conditions in regards to member's risk of trading. Please check section 7.4. Risk of trading of the forum’s rules.

All I can say is please don't be put off. Sadly there will always be some risk but if you can look at all metric's of the seller before hand. The longer and the more a forum member has been contributing to the forum. I would assume it reasonably safe to trade. whilst some of the bargains might come from newer private sellers the forum does have a good selection of Business sellers. the likes of @arshimo2012 @theman73 @BackyardBullionto name but a few. There are many many more great seller's on here. @James32 @Orpster @Sh97if the list goes on. Apologies to those that I have miss. The grey matter is a little slow this morning. Had a few sherbet's last night. My point is that the forum is full of great people, and I'm sure that if you saw something but wasn't quite sure. There are others on here that would be more than happy to give you the benefit of their experience of the forum and its sellers if you dropped them a private message. I know I've reached out to quite a few of the more experienced member and they have all, without fail helped me.

Really sorry this had happened to you.
Should you not be able to get your money back I would like to offer a few bits of silver as a gesture.  Its not much as I don't stack silver but a couple of nice poured pieces, some fractional proofs, a proof 1937 crown and a lonely brit.  Let me have your address on pm once you know and I will get it posted to you.  Its an eclectic mix but a couple of interesting pieces
