Look like Cordovan Leather? I still own a pair of Cheaney Cordovans, which look extremely similar to yours (although mine have leather soles and heels) and they still polish up like glass; purchased them in Jermyn Street some 30 odd years ago (approx.) for £80.00; a real bargain for £6.00.

I hope you are refunded soon. The scammers are scum, taking advantage of the vulnerable and the banks and police do very little. My friend had registered on a job site. She got a call from someone purporting to be the owner of a local business (which did exist) and he offered her a telephone interview as it was during Lockdown. She was told she had got the job, and could she provide her details? Yay, prosecco time! Er, no. A few days later she got a month's salary paid in before she had even started. Then they contacted her and said Payroll had cocked up, could she please refund the money?
At this point she got suspicious and asked her husband (my mate) who said no way. They looked into it and basically the jobs board had not done due diligence, had provided the fraudsters with her personal details. They took out a Payday loan in her name at some ridiculous interest rate, and then asked her for the money. Luckily she didn't pay them otherwise she's a months money down AND with a payday loan. The loans company also did no due diligence, (actually got her name wrong) but still allowed someone else to take it out in her name, yet wouldn't speak to her 'for security reasons'. The loan money had been paid into her Lloyd's bank account which was obviously now in question. Lloyds were totally disinterested in helping. The police said 'call Action Fraud', but seemingly they don't exist any more, and Live Loans are apparently complicit with the scammers. It's still not sorted.

Apologies that this going off the original Head Post's title, but it does seem that no one anywhere actually gives a monkey's about anything anymore. I recently bought tyres from F1, the web site said they had a lifetime guarantee; no they don't said F1; I took a screen shot and sent it to them, still problems; can you tell us what tyres we fitted; don't you know, you sold them and advertised them; still ongoing. Every which way they try to confuse, prevaricate and push the matter back to the customer hoping the matter will just go away, which 99.9% of the time it does because they know the majority of customers will just give up. I appreciate that this is in no way as serious as your friend's issue hotmetal, but these situations are reoccurring themes; no one gives a monkey's!

My eldest daughter has been growing her hair since she was born. It's very long thick blonde hair. She's just had her hair cut short and donated the hair that has been removed to the Little Princess Trust who make real hair wigs for children that have lost their hair through cancer etc. A decision she made on her own. I'm very proud of her and it makes me think we may be doing ok as parents.
