SCAMMER alert

[GrimReaper]

Theres a guy doing a scam at the moment. He posts up saying he has a garage full of car parts to shift, all very rare, desirable stuff. And great prices. Only accepts Paypal and if anyone wants to collect he goesa bit quiet on them. Usually claims to be rebuilding a V8 Landrover but whatever the forum is (Opel Manta, Mk1 Astra, Ford Escort VW's etc) he's got piles of stuff for them from an old project.

Needless to say people get excited, pay him loads of money by Paypal and then he dissappears...

Examples of him in action

he took the Escort guys for well over a grand before he was busted.

Please keep it in mind that forums are no more trustworthy than the local rag and probably far less safe thean eBay.

Be wary out there. Not everyone is bad but if you dont know the seller or dont know someone that can varify who they are then be carefull. If it seems to good to be true it probably is and if someone won't play ball with cash on collection then run a mile.

Nice one GR i have just gone through every link and read every page, this guy although scum of the earth is deviously clever to say the least.He seems to know everything about every car part known to man, you can see how easily lead the different forum members were. Im dumbfounded by the cheek and sheer up frontness of this scum sucking tosspot. He needs to be caught and hurt very badly, very badly indeed.

No offense, but are people really that stupid that they pay people for things that they have never seen, from a person they dont know/nor does anyone else on the forum, with a low post count/new member etc.

I agree though, he needs to be stopped, caught and punished
