It turned up took a deposit

Posted by Jeanette Molloy, on Tue 05 Jun 2018 08:17am

I’ve given £50 to a man called bill who said he would be here at 9 am . Got a text says he can’t make it. I’ve told him to get my £50 back to me. I’m disgusted. I’ve trusted him through your site . Stranger who walked off the street and asked for a £50 deposit. Said he got my number from Ruth. I’ve a good mind to call the police . If my moneys not returned today I will. Jeanette Molly
