Well...for those of you who left a comment on my previous thread ...thanks for the support...heres an update...
i got some more information emailed to me from people who they think have dealt with this "lianne" person
other email address....another home address...etc...
which was all forwarded onto her/him to say i am narrowing down my search Etc..etc
I also filed a dispute with paypal on Saturday morning saying that i had an unauthorized account hack from that transaction....(which obviously is a little white lie....well....a huge one really)
i took a gamble (as it is fraudulent) in the hope she/he would do "the right thing" as the dispute has to be authorized from her end...and low and behold when i got up this morning the money had been fully refunded into my paypal..FEW
So THANKS to everyone who helped resolve this and thanks for the support from 99% on here....
not the 1% who didnt help by saying "i have no common sense from using paypal as gift" etc etc...
