I think I may have been scammed

Contact your bank straightaway and explain what's happened.

I think it might be wise to cancel your card - contact your bank ASAP.

I have been selling on Vinted too and the money is paid into your bank account by Vinted, once the item has been received so you never have to give bank details to buyers. Sounds like a definite scam via the link. Hope you get refunded.

why? my comment was incredibly rich in helpfulness and detail one could only dream of getting!

I would have reported your post too, if I had seen it first.

Very unkind and unhelpful response to a lovely lady, whom I happen to have met on many occasions.😡

Oh dear. Thanks everyone. I am trying to get through to my bank who have a stupid multiple choice report system.

I've reported it to Vinted who thanked me and say they are admonishing that "buyer"
It's impossible to speak to a human.

Yes cancel . I was scammed by someone using vinted name.

Grammaretto if you aren’t able to get through to your bank try dialling 159. It’s an urgent fraud investigation helpline and according to Martin Lewis most major banks are signed up to it.

Details about the 159 number here…

Who is this SillyBigJill ?

Thanks everyone especially grannynannywanny . I have followed your advice and got through to my bank's fraud department where I was told that these things happen and not that I'm a silly old woman.

My card has been cancelled and there hasn't been any recent activity on it.
Phew!
One thing he said was that if you use PayPal, it is wise to avoid the friends and family route as PayPal will not compensate for loss on there.

Excellent news. A huge relief for you.

I had a scare yesterday. I paid Wikipedia £2 as I do every year then noticed it came up as WikiMedia on my credit card statement (I was looking at it the next day)
I contacted my bard provide4 and they reassured be all was well. They said it was always best to check.

I’m so pleased to hear of this positive outcome, Grammaretto.
You are most certainly not a silly old woman - these fraudsters are very clever and convincing.

Always best to check messages too!!!

What a relief Grammaretto!

I will note grannynannywanny's advice.
