re. Property scams
I have been speaking to Rebecca O'Connor from the Times newspaper this morning re the property scams. She has asked to hear from anyone with a ripped off story to tell to email her.
Her email address is: rebecca.o'connor@thetimes.co.uk

Re: re. Property scams
Thanks for that. I have passed that email address on to my son who has been scammed in Bulgaria.
Do you think there should be a sub forum just for the scam stuff because I am having trouble trying to collate everything going on with so many threads at the moment.
Sorry....I'm blonde!!! LOL
