1/ when carrying more than £300 blabs in cash, assume you will be mugged and have a stooge wallet and crap pay as you go phone to hand over and plead with them not to take it. 2/ SHOUT FIRE as its the only thing that brings people running to help. (if you don't believe this, try it somewhere) 3/ keep the cash in your crutch, they usually do not put a hand in your pants to feel around your tackle for it. It also protects the testicles when the kicking is administered. 4/ Don't buy a van in wigan |

Really, I am very sorry that happened to you, but 3 and 4 made me lol enough to disturb the entire office. Now they know I'm not working.

When buying insist on going to the vendor's home address.
You can have a quick look on Google Maps and check him out on the electoral register, 192.com and similar. Get his phone number and Google it, I've found out some very interesting stuff about people that way. As said before, go with a friend and park out of sight. |

They are SAFE, unless the bank allows something to be set up without proof of identity, and your gas bill is not proof of identity. Your ID card / passport would be. IBAN and swift codes as well as account numbers and sort codes will not normally give anyone access to your money. If someone breaks the codes nothing is safe. When we book a holiday abroad privately we usually transfer money via bank to bank transfer. Even old fashioned british banks are catching up slowly - sadly at much higher cost / fees though. I know Jeremy Clarkson can be an exception!! |

Yeah stay away from anything like this. I fell for a scam and sent a pair of shoes to Nigeria once. Luckily it was only some second hand shoes. I was naive back then.
