Good news!

Bank has refunded the money as we could demonstrate that we undertook sufficient due diligence before parting with the money, but still fell victim to the scam.

That’s a really good outcome for us, now I hope that the banks and old bill go after these fuckwits so nobody else gets conned by them in future

Thanks all for your supportive comments and wonderful detective work. 🙏👍

Oh, and we managed to pick up a really nice 2017 VW Caddy yesterday so he’s all set now 😁
