No, he was't flagged multiple times - I'm hoping he WILL, though. I dont think it'll make a difference. Scammers always find a way.

I'm more upset about being scammed than the money itself really - it upsets me that people can be such assholes, and that we fell for it!

Glad you had some kind of resolution and you got a present for your Mum in the end anyway, right? That's good news xx
