Good work. I think there should be a minimum post count/membership period before sellers can post.

It seems a bit strange if they are the same person that he would try and buy things from himself

agree, sellers should be full members, or have a min post count.

why dont they change it so you have to be a member of a scooby club before you can sell that way can give back up to the buyer and seller

Why should you have to be a PAID member???? i will never pay to be part of a forum but i have been posting on Scoobynet since 2001(although it says 2003).

We should all be able to sell something if needed, however i do feel that you should have a minimum post count of say 200 to sell anything,or even some sort of feedback/sponsor system.

Before i buy something i always check other posts and post count.

IMO obviously,lol

Peter asked him in one of his for sale thread if it was a left hooker and he said no.

What a mug!

I just hope that no one has gave him any cash.

Yea if he managed to "Sell" everything he would have made a nice wee £2270
Admin PM'd, also sent a PM to the guy who owns the real car over in the States to confirm he does still own the car and pointed him in the direction of this thread

I HATE SCAMMERS

This is also the same guy... https://www.scoobynet.com/private-sa...c-control.html

The threads from this username need removing to..Apexi ecu,brembos and coilovers, all different threads.

Why did it take this thread to get action taken??....i emailed Admin Thursday night and told them the score.

The guy he originally tried to rip off a few months ago for an apexi ecu managed to get his money back after involving the police, i really cant believe he has the front to try it again!!.. and... i cant believe the **** used the same pics of his car in his TJay profile as he did in his new username ClassicBeautiful

original threads
