Hello again, further to the related thread about vendors deposit scam, the woman from New York phoned, I blocked each call, but she kept on ringing, so I though I'd get it out of the way, because I said I can't (and now won't) release the £4000 vendors deposit required, she has threatened me with legal action, I stupidly signed the commitment to sell form, I said I've told my Solicitor everything (I don't currently have one, she doesn't know that), can I be prosecuted from the USA (or Philippines) over what is obviously a scam ?.........could I be extradited ?.......I'm very naive about the legal system, I don't want to end up in Sing-Sing !......shock

Will you get caught again Cillafan ? or has it been a horrible lessons learnt? If you have now realised that you can NEVER take a phone call like this at face value you won’t ever be in this situation again.
You have survived and learned a lot

I certainly have learnt my lesson, and learned a lot about trust, life is one long learning curve, it's made me mentally stronger, I've survived, going on a cruise to Norwegian fjords next month, I'm going to enjoy it even more now now I've been saved from this vicious scam,, if I had of lost the £4000 it would haunt me for the rest of my days!

What country do you live in?
Just block the calls, I m curious to know how you got as far as signing the forms, not that it matters there is a cancellation period anyway,
Did they send them to you?

Shell951 if you read through the thread you will see how the OP received the forms.

This must be so worrying. I hope you can put it out of your mind and enjoy your holiday.
