WARNING - scammer on the prowl on UK forums...

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------

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
