i spoke to a nice guy on the phone and he assured me that it was top spec for my needsand would be able to play all the newest games,i know its not going to be super fast but i thought with a screen it made sense at that price

hi guys sorry ive been busy in work all day

i feel like a right idiot now,i had been thinking about getting a good pc for some time,i was cold called at home by this guy but honestly he did sound very genuine and it just sounded like a bargain at the time.
. Yes im sure he said something about they are refurbished Time pc or something as he told me the website to go on which is where i got the specifications from which is the time one.

i have been trying to get hold of this guy all day and i have left him a couple of voicemails but i havent heard back
hopefully i can get this sorted

thanks for you advice

hey guys
i had a big argument with the wife last night after i told her what happened,a similar-ish thing happened last year trying to save money on some roofing work and they ended up running away with about £500 in what i was told was materials money and we are still chasing them in court.
luckily i did pay on credit card and i have spoke the nice barclaycard people and i have managed to cancel the payment finally.
thanks for the help guys
