  1. HI all. Well thanks for your advice, Dave and others, I have been told today that I will get my money back. The full story: I wrote to the address I had been given (in Neath) and gave them 1 week to return the money or contact me then it was to be the police. Today I got a call from the person who I shall call Ceri. The scam worked by a low life recruiting a third party ( Ceri ) to collect money and forward it. It broke down because the third party did not know his name and address would be put on Ebay, when the postal orders started to arrive he called his cousin in the police. I was given a name in Port Talbot CID who I rang and he confirmed the details. The scammer had hijacked an account, feedback etc, set up a bank transfer to Eastern Europe and recruited a patsy to act as collector for POs. Ebay have told the police they are" investigating ". The police have told Ceri he will have to post all the POs by registered mail and make good any money that goes missing, when he protested and asked why he had to pay the DC told him " because you've been bloody stupid, that's why " So all's well etc, however I will be much more careful in future. Meanwhile I have just bought my raptor from a respectable source for 49.99 ! ( PMs for details if anyone's interested ) Cheers John

  3. Hi All. I keep getting pop-ups which tell me I have critical registry errors and my pc is in danger of crashing. Go to ****** whatever for the fix. I don't trust these pop-ups but am now worried I might indeed have some registry errors. Any ideas or suggestions ? John.

  7. Help! XP pro. It's just taken me about an hour to access the net. When I open OE I get the connection dialog box, click connect and the modem dials..... after some time " unable to establish a connection " if I click connect again the system hangs, ctrl, alt del, try again but still won't dial. If I try to close computer it hangs "saving settings" so I use the reboot button, when windows starts I have to do a shut down and then switch on again then open OE and get the connection box, click connect and it dials. It may connect but if I get " unable to establish a connection" I have to repeat the whole process again. It's driving me mad!!! Any help gratefully accepted. I also get pop ups advising me of registry errors but I dont trust them. I've run easy cleaner which reports no problems.
  8. Hi Blue. You obviously met one of the minority. Graham is quite correct about Liverpool, however I've found friendly people everywhere I've travelled even in London!perhaps people react how they are treated. Graham forgot to mention that we also have the best looking girls in Liverpool too, it's only when they speak the illusion is shattered.
