ANYONE heard about this

[liam_b]

Taken from another forum, but well worth thinking about.....

Theres a guy doing a scam at the moment on UK car forums. 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) he's got piles of stuff for them from an old project.

Needless to say people get excited, pay him hods of cash by Paypal and then he disappears...

Examples of him in action

His IP is coming up as NTL so he ain't using a proxy so you could use that to trace the bastard

IP -> Trace -> DoS -> Pissed off bloke -> You being sued -> A good laugh but not worth it

[Sparco_Tom]

well cheers mate for opening our eyes to this. Hopefully everyone on here will safely be able to buy and sell items on here still

there have been a few threads like this. so the mods are aware of it, hence the rules about posting in the for sale sections, etc

ju7st be careful who you buy from if you buy from the for sale section. only use trusted members.

in sax-p v4, i there will most probably be a seller rep system, which will also increase safety :y:

[nickdem]

^ Sounds good but there are also alot of people that like to sell one off things or a couple thing who then might not be able to sell things?
