I regret that I am unable to refund any payments AFTER I have sent the e-mail, as I have already sent what I have said I would, and it is impossible for me to know that whoever I am refunding will not use the e-mail for their own personal benefit. However, if you would like a refund BEFORE I send the e-mail, feel free to request it. Also, can you PLEASE make sure that spam filters are OFF when you purchase the e-mail as there have been complaints of people not receiving it when it is probably due to a spam filter blocking the e-mail. Thanks

Its NOT a rip off, just a GENUINE way of getting one of these amazing items for a fraction of the price
all you are paying for is information on how to obtain a cheaper tv, it may only be £2.99 but once you buy you have just wasted a pint

the original ebay item was offering punters an email showing them where to get a 17 inch lcd tv for £80 (worth thousands..). In an effort to show Sara how these scams operate, I provided her with an example of a 'link' this email might offer (its lcd/17 inch/cheap etc)....................
or maybe I've had tooooooooooo muuuuuch wine

Of course you can buy £1150 TV's for £80 - just think, you could buy loads and resell them and make a fortune. 
You can also get some bloke in Africa who was related to a president nobody has heard of to transfer £40M into your bank, and he'll let you keep 10% of it because he's so nice.
The sad thing is people actually waste £3 buying these things thinking its going to make them their fortune - if everyone had the sense to NOT buy, these sort of scammers and crap sellers would vanish from Ebay as they wouldnt be making any money.
