It was a very simple question meant to highlight that these scams are nothing new(as you've said yourself) and that they have sod all to do with Brexit and more to do with the people who fall for them. It sounds like you do all the relevant checks as I do so you don't get scammed which is fair play to you. Everyone should as let's be honest in this day and age everyone is aware of the amount of online scams,no? The thread title implies that it's some new scam when it's not at all, hence me asking you to explain it. Nothing more than that. So again, no need to throw your toys out of your pram, or make silly assumptions of someone's intelligence. It's wrong to do that and very presumptuous of you , and rest assured, a very wrong assumption.

If it was not for Covid it would be. Whichever side of the brexit decision you are on, it is a massive change. Much of the law regarding trade of all kinds has been written in the last 40 years to streamline the movement of goods, services and money across 28 countries and between 450,000,000 people. It is going to take long time and a lot of money and resources to resolve the issues and prices are going to go up.

I've been getting loads recently about my virus protection running from about 3 different firms. If there is a link, hover the mouse over it and in the bottom left of your browse the destination is shown. If it looks dodgy, delete it. I've had convincing looking e-mails supposed from my internet provider which is Virgin and the link went to a talktalk address!
Most villains these days don't rob banks, they simply empty the accounts of the vulnerable and trusting.

I am saying I would always check deeper if it contains a $ as most of them are scams
The only reason I could see a $ symbol being used on the tackle box is if you have set that up as the default
I have checked and mine is £
Buying over seas then yes I would expect to see it as you say
I used to buy lots from Canada and the states.
TBH
I don't much stuff from out of the uk to save a couple of quid
I would rather buy it in the uk in case anything goes wrong and it re circulates back into the uk economy once it is outside it rarely comes back in.

Fedex refused to let my parcel go. I paid £140 import tax then the next day got the same text. Lucky enough they found it
