If there is money to be made then rest assured these people will find it. Sickening all the same but the more that technology advances, then the more sophisticated these people get.

Yeah, there's deceitful, lazy, workshy scroungers everywhere all too ready to steal from honest people.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

New Alert.11/8/16

Fraudsters selling non existent drones

 

Online shopping websites are being utilised by fraudsters to advertise nonexistent drones of various specifications for competitive prices.After victims agree to purchase the drone, the fraudsters request payment to be paid via bank transfer saying that it will quicken the delivery process. After transferring the money the buyers never receive the drone and the fraudster blocks the victim to prevent further conversation

Seems like a good idea @Toby. So we would always have the most recent fraud at the top of the page?
