Default Scam Warning
THIS IS REAL NOT A EMAIL THING DOING THE ROUNDS PLEASE MAKE IT STICKY FOR ALL TO SEE.

I use several forums and a certain person has arrived and is making a LOT of money, £1000's from us. Selling non existant parts to people on various car forums. So far I know of about 5 different ones he has used and has made a serious amount on each.

BEWARE WHEN BUYING ANYTHING ONLINE THROUGH A PRIVATE AD, HE ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL, WONT ALLOW COLLECTION AND HOLD THE BIGGEST STORE OF SOUGHT AFTER PARTS FOR ALL MAKES APPARENTLY. Links to various forums below.

You sure about the VW one being the same bloke? he's given a mobile number & professes to be just down the road to me. Hmm?

& just out of interest, how do you know all this?

check out this ebay.co.uk item, first.

then check this number on ebay.com and check the dates.

all in all how strange...

who would be stupid enough to part with £1000 deposit without seeing it 1st and being able to pick it up? people with too much money i guess, but then why would they be on ebay in the 1st place.

the mind boggles.

after many emails from the scammer today, he wont let me view the item, until ive paid the deposit, ive now reported him to ebay as a possible scam/fraud.
we shall see.
