In response to the accusations of Games Fraud... i would never purchase games from someone and not pay for them. Below is the only transaction i have ever made abroad.

A guy contacted me to buy some games from him, i ordered a small amount of video games for a total cost of £100, to be paid 50% now and 50% when i receive. (seemed fair!) I wanted to pay by paypal (for security concerns) but he insisted i use Moneygram. I paid the first amount as stated, then a day later that message was posted on this site. ( how ironic the message was posted right in the middle of the transaction!) Then he e-mailed me to say about the message and now he doesn't trust me, he said he had sent the package but will get it stopped straightaway unless i make the other 50% payment. He wouldn't confirm if he had collected the first amount and wouldn't give me the tracking number to confirm there is a parcel?!? What do i do.... nothing of course... i thought about sending him some more money, but why risk more. The guy i purchased from did not live in Belgium, and the amounts stated are in this message. I also have proof about the Moneygram transaction and the £50 i have lost. The guy i was "supposed" to be buying the games off "supposedley" lost some money in the postage, but my £50 has covered every penny of that so he has lost nothing!

I would be grateful if anyone had any advice about claiming back money from Moneygram. Also be interested to know if anything similar has happened to other people.
