Guru On Duty

A friend of mine fell for this scam a few months ago. Since he'd paid by credit-card, he assumed that he had some protection. The credit-card company were very helpful and refunded the money to his card whilst they set about tracking down the thief. So, money back in pocket, my friend buys a laptop elsewhere ... only for the credit-card company to get in touch a few days later to say that since his transaction was technically a cash transfer, there was nothing they could do so they were taking their money back from him!
