I picked this up from another car forum that i post on

THIS IS REAL NOT A EMAIL THING DOING THE ROUNDS

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.

Seem the guy has taken a fair few bucks off people who thought they were getting a bargain.

remember the old saying, if something is too good to be true......it most likely is

Thanks Jay for this warning.  It is just as well this forum uses the 50 posts rule which may put him off!

Just one thing though, and maybe I am being thick, but I cannot find in your web quotes any definate identification of who this person is. :-?

Can you indicate his name(s), addresses or whatever he usually goes by currently, although that may be changed frequently I expect.

Not much to worry about with this one chaps, it happend over 18 months ago...

the guy in question got a "knock" on the door

[Jimbob]

Thought it sounded very familiar, we did have this on here a lonnnnnng time ago iirc

We have a 250 post rule in an effort to weed out some of this.  Not infallible, but certainly helps a little.
