Is it a case of making nonexistent goodies cheap enough so even those who don't go for too good to be true deals. Cheap enough ppl get many. Get enough such ppl you make money only to dona runner leaving plenty of ppl saying "what the hell, it's only a few pence!"

Skim pennies of ppl, get enough ppl you make pounds and plenty of ppl makes nice money. That money could be simple scammers or a money earner for ppl planning more. I'm just a cynic, don't let me spoil your fun!

I thought I'd be sensible, and just order three (I don't even need those if I'm honest!).

Then wifey came along and did the 'tutting' thing that is her preferred way of telling me I've done something daft. Three minutes later she'd ordered another 15!

If it is fraud id imagine they would make more from your card details than the few pence from the orders. Not sure if they have direct access or if they are held by amazon. At any rate im not risking it

So if they end up pink, will John Fenna end up with colour matched torches by the handful soon?

True, thought about the credit card but online cover might pay up and I'm not sure vendors see the full details. Its held separate from vendors. Did get told how but forgot it. Summat about a shadow getting put over your money to the value. Vendor has it allocated and receives confirmation the money is available. Then goods despatched and the shadow over your money gets lifted as it goes into account of vendor. More to it but the card details get sent to the handling bank never to vendors or markets like amazon.

i fear you may have spoiled my fun
 
What a shame, the deal has been cancelled :( Just got an email through saying my orders were cancelled.

I don't blame them, they must have entered in the pricing wrong. if they had sent them out, they would have been loosing minimum £2 per torch.
 
Maybe an explanation...
