Bought a bianchi on gumtree 2 weeks ago. Transferred money and arranged for my son to pick it up. No reply to my phone calls or txts. I am in Northern Ireland but my son is in Liverpool and he was picking the bike up. Went to the address supplied but nobody about. Is there anything I can do ? Any help or advice appreciated

Ask your bank about a recall, might be a painful learning process tho.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
