Hate to break it to OP, but you probably have aids. And not the good kind.

i was walking along this evening near South Croydon Travelodge when a family pulled up in a car and asked if I could help them. They explained that they wanted to stay at the Travelodge and had been in and found out rooms were available but apparently the receptionist could not take cash from them and they had to either phone the central booking line or book via Internet. They said they did not have a working mobile phone and could I book for them. I looked it up and saw it was £79 a night - I got £80 cash off of them and paid through PayPal. I did not let them use my phone and I got the cash so all should be ok. I am now a bit worried this is an elaborate scam but maybe I am worrying unnecessarily? Anyone got any thoughts on this? Thats funny because my son and his girlfriend came home earlier with the same story, that a couple pulled up in a car and ask them the same thing. My son's girlfriend took a sneaky picture of him as he was talking to my son is this the same bloke

In answer to the OP's original question, "have I been scammed"...yes, yes you have, I don't know how, but the nature of the scam will become apparent in the fullness of time. In the meantime, try not to let it play on your mind day and night, driving you mad with worry.

I'd like to hear the progress of this. If nothing else, it'd be great to hear you haven't been scammed and that your trust wasn't misplaced.
