Scammer doing the rounds on car forums
« on: 15 February 2007, 13:09:59 »
Saw a post on vxon about a scammer doing the rounds on the car forums.

He says he has loads of parts to clearout because of his missus, takes money through paypal and then never sends anything out.

An example of his posts on various other forums

Looking at the prices...he's charging very little considering its supposed to include delivery too

I suppose his MO is that 'most' people wont go through the aggro of reporting etc for £20 or £30

Piece of shit...I might have the miss-fortune to meet him in my line of work if he gets caught and sentenced.
