Default SUBARU PROMISER MARC- MARK SMIT aka Schmidt aka South African mapper

This guy needs to be stopped once and for all .

Anyone with dealings prior or currently please post here and lets finish his reign of terror on the Subaru community.

He prays on anyone,he will show you lots of shiny parts all super high end stuff Pretend to be your best friend,come and have dinner with your family then take your car and your money.

The police need info so we can put an end to this

He is known to operate in

Gloucestershire,Wiltshire,Birmingham,London,Wales and probably further afield

There are many cars and parts missing and not to mention ££££££


WE WILL ARRANGE A SCOOBY MEET TO SIT DOWN WITH EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD UNHAPPY DEALINGS DETAILS TO BE CONFIRMED

WE ARE LOOKING FOR MANY CARS

A P1

The car was entrusted to him to sell as he had a guaranteed buyer,sadly the V5 was given to him along with the car to sell. The owner failed to receive a penny and as far as we can make out the car was taken from this new owner with promise of a super engine build and never returned .

There is a thread or two in the archives about this fella, wasn't he operating out of Wales or something?

I'm pretty sure an old thread mentioned about a P1 he failed to return.

Guys the P1 and Honda are one of many ..

The guy has had people in for £100s.000.
We need everyone who has has or had sour dealings with this guy to come forward so we can all have a meet somewhere and take all the information to the appropriate authorities to deal with him. Believe it or not he is still fully operational and hard at work doing what he does best !!!

+1 I remember the topic but cannot find them. Funny how the same bad old pennies keep turning back up.

They must have three scams and takes it in turn. Giving time for the dust has settle before restarting the same old scam.

Many more than 3

This cannot continue any longer spread the word in the UK Scooby circles,otherwise I am afraid this wont be the last thread.
He is VERY good at what he does and knows how to play the system to his advantage

He is very convincing at what he does to say the least .

He has talents with cars mapping engine building but his other talents outshine the rest

Suppose you're right, some of these con men are bloody good.
Not sure I'd get caught out like that but who knows.

Hope he gets what's coming to him

I'm sure this has already been done, victims talking and presenting evidence to the Police etc etc but nothing has ever come of it.

Listen guys we know we`ve been naive but we don`t need reminding of it we just don`t want anyone else to be so stupid! He`s like every CON MAN out there they are very good at gaining your confidence. I`d known him for nearly 2 years before this happened

Darren, is your involvement with this fella a recent affair or are we talking a long period of time?.....My point being, it must be 2/3 years since I last heard of this South African guy ripping people off in the same manor....(I'm sure it was in Wales)

Back then, victims were getting together and presenting evidence to the Police(the same as what you are trying to do no) So does you history with this guy stretch back to then or has he set up again in a different part of the Country pulling off the same tricks?

This particular issue has been going on for over a year .

We do know a few of the other victims and are in talks but really need to find more evidence.

He is defiantly still up to his old tricks in the Scooby world and beyond

Every account is the same empty promises and total and utter B*lls*it not to mention cars missing .. we know of more victims but they are still under the delusion that there car is coming back as a world rally car and wont help.

CID is willing to listen but we need the support of the Scoobynet community to nail this once and for all.

So how come the people from a few years ago never managed to nail this guy? Where are they now? Where are the cars they lost?

If there is hard evidence he has commited these offences how is he still trading?

One thing is for sure, you'll get no joy from the police until he gets caught speeding in one of the said motors then the registered keeper will get a NIP in the post and all hell will break lose.
