I will pray for you!🤗

I got a text from the bank today to say that they are investigating and will let me know soon. So still waiting

I think I have made my points enough on this thread.
Can't please everyone, it is what it is.
I have a video tomorrow talking about how good this community is and how we have nearly 30 Oz of silver donated to those victims of the scammers. 
That is way more important to focus on.

Action fraud will not get your money back, however your bank sees it as part of the proof that you have really been scammed. They need to tick boxes.

I dont see why there is confusion over feedback, as a seller and a buyer feedback to me is equal in importance.
As soon as a buyer has paid I leave feedback as their part of the transaction is complete, the buyer then leaves feedback when goods have been received and checked as my part of the transaction is done.
It's not rocket science is politeness and common courtesy, as a seller you treat your buyers with respect and go as far as is possible to make the sale as reassuring as reasonably possible it is large sums of hard earned money that is being handed over and as a seller the least you can do is respect that and acknowledge you appreciate their purchase from you.
 
 

A transaction is a two way thing, so both parties need to leave feedback. I’m sure that you appreciate prompt payment and good communication from a buyer, so why not give feedback?🤔

I didn't realise how prolific the production of Krugerrands really was back in its heyday in the 1970s-80s before the sanctions.  At its peak the annual tonnage of gold minted into coins is not all that much less than the tonnage minted into sovereigns at their height just before WWI.

I believe it's just @Geovest and @PlainSailing now? Both @Boruta and @bestg77 have been compensated as far as I'm aware.

I hope you do get a refund and can enjoy buying on the forum. Wish you well

Very sorry to hear that, and your first trade on here to boot 😔 whilst probably difficult to listen to now, but please don't let it put you off so early in your journey. 

I did. I haven't been on here since I first raised the issue with Chris when I received my sweets. Pretty blown away by all the supportive messages and gives me faith in the community here, it seems like it's very rare. The few prior experiences I've had on here have been very positive. I am usually very careful and have never really been properly scammed before, anywhere. I thought I had done my due diligence looking at his history but there are some subtleties I missed being so inexperienced here.
I believe it was just the 3 of us that got scammed by him. Not sure if more people have come forward than that. I'm still catching up with all the messages on this thread. I'm only halfway through.
The delivery note that I received from SilverSells was from Peterborough. This was my first suspicion of a scam as it had been sent via second class and the details on the right were missing, ie the weight, but I didn't know that at the time.
I'm still in communication with my bank to try and get the funds back. They are going the route of the CRM code so not so straight forward. Annoying as I usually pay with a Halifax account but this time I didn't.
A very kind and generous offer by BackyardBullion but hopefully the bank will return the funds and people can keep their silver.
I will post any updates here.
Cheers

This on the other hand would discriminate against members who are naturally shy  or feel they cannot necessary's contribute as much but prefer to read and learn from other's posts.  I guess there is no easy solution.
