I’ve recently started with deposits due to so many time wasters. I had this one guy try and convince me he was trustworthy as he used his “personal” email address and reassured me he was genuine.
I told him that if I had a pound for every time waster who told me they were genuine, I’d be a rich woman. I also had to tell him that plenty of time wasters have also used “personal “ emails, addresses and phone numbers.
Funnily enough, he didn’t bother to reply after that.
