is there a scammer on sax-p ???

[djgaz9]

well first i am looking for a set of black or white wheels........

and i get a email from this guy with pics of black vts wheels in good condition and asking for £100 for them so i thought that pritty good,
so i email back and said to him i will give you £80 posted just to well you know how it is you try get them for as little as you can! well i got a message back saying yes no problem mate i will take £80 posted.
what i thought god no way. so i looked at his profile he has just became a member on sax-p and had about 9 posts so then that got me thinking...... just became a member and the post he has got is just with posting things for sale... at pritty good prices!!

so i bring this up with them and he says that he had somthing else for a saxo mk1 for sale no going to say what but that he would put that in with the wheel and if i dident trust them that he would take £50 just now and then when i got the item i had to put the rest in!!!

what do you lot think?? :wall::wall:

i think you are a mug if you think his offer is genuine

[Ryan]

Premium member?, or do they know you want the parts because you have been using the wrong sections?

Ps there is a suspected scammer section for a reason :D

[Furio-92]

Yeah mate, i think he's having you on.

[djgaz9]

yip thats what i am saying just make sure you know what your doing if you going to buy anything on here..

but its people like this (if he is taking s**t) that make you wonder who is a genuine seller or not!!

and you get alot of people on here that really are genuine sellers as i have got a few things of people on this but then you come across somthing like this :wall:

well firstly how is he selling things if he is a new member? and i wouldnt buy it mate if you have any doubts not worth the risk. get him to take pics with his name on it also mention collecting if he gets quiet report it

[djgaz9]

yes mate Premium member and just joined and became a Premium member but thats what i said to him aswell £10 to become a Premium member and £80 of me for wheels £70 profit and what ever else he sells...

and does a runner and your the 1 with lighter pockets :(

gaz

[djgaz9]

because he is a Premium member thats how he can sell things he has got things for sale with his name on them with date but not on the wheels

so if he had his name on a sheet of paper in the pic what would that do as could you not still just loss you money just the same?? and not get it back?

[Kev_Vtec]

[Ryan]

Sounds dodgy, alloys could be stolen. I wouldn't trust him tbh.

[huggy54]

its probably Nick Hewitt

WTF are you guys on, talking about judging a book by its cover. He may be a scammer but your practically accusing him of this before having any evidence.
If your not happy with the terms of a sale then don't follow through with it, if you get scammed you only have yourself to blame.

Thanks for the heads up... would have been helpful if you had included the username of the member you suspected though ;)

This is now being looked into.

Fairly notorious scammer who does the round on car forums offering nice sounding parts for bargain prices. Requests payment by bank transfer and then disappears with your money.

Had quite a few people off here as well as other forums, but believe the police have now caught up with him :y:

[BenMc]

scam the uk the agustus way!!

[k_singh91]

bull.. i sent my money by paypal when i got scamed on here, all i got was a message saying that the funds could not be taken from the sellers account and i would have to try getting the money back myself.
