[ubuntu-uk] warning: Non ubuntu thread! Fwd: Transcript of 4 Oct 2010 7:25:17. Visitor: javad. Operator: Jessica Waynick.

[Vince Marsters]

As soon as I read no credit cards but only Western Union then the alarm
bells started ringing for me. I wouldn't just walk away but would be
running as fast as I could.

Also I didn't see anywhere on the website where a postal address is
shown. AFAIK it is a legal requirement in the UK for all internet
companies to provide this.
