Hi all
wanted to warn you all about a scam being pulled or tried to pull on the purchaser of the lizziealive surfboard.
we were lucky in that the purchasers of the board were actually on my mailing list so they could contact me directly.
It seems that a JACKIE FORSTER in Madrid Spain mailed them soon after finish of sale with a fake Ebay mail stating that they should send funds by wire to them.
I beleive Ebay only now allow paypal??????
so please be carefull when transfering your money and even cross check with ebay maybe
cheers all

    it IS extremely negative mate, but you know what? Karma is a bitch and it comes back to bite you on the arse.

    I mean, look at the coincidence that someone YOU live close to won the board? That there is GOOD karma :)

    Now we just need to spread the word and try and stop these selfish trollops ripping off charities and the like.

    Dont feel bad, just remember how much you raised :D:D

    That is strange. I thought winning bidders were being kept secret now. How would they get that persons name? That is very scary.


    Well the good news is you foiled the plan and made some money for your great cause. Congrats!
