    Just thought i should send a warning to people who purchase
    goods through the Hot Copper website.

    I have purchased a number of items through HC.
    And to me they all turned out to be what they claimed to be.

    The problem is in the postage, from overseas, a email (text),
    arrives advising you that incorrect postage has be paid, and you
    need to make a payment of $1,00.
    They require you to fill out their online text giving your credit/debit card details.
    This is the scam, if you fill out and send your details the amount could cost you
    $1,000.00.
    They place a comma after the number one, not a dot, so the amount can be varied
    up to a thousand dollars.

    This might be old news to you folks, but new to me.
    I never send my details to anyone, i go through a service provider.

    Just saying.
