I posted a wanted advert for a boot liner and was contacted by bigsteveo78 saying he had the item as he was breaking a car, I agreed a price together with another part and paid by PayPal. No item received, no contact so raised a PayPal dispute and still nothing.
Really a heads up for anyone else offered something from this guy, or like me if you have been conned would be good to hear from you as it will help my case.
Cheers.

These sort of posts seem to be getting more and more regular...

I agree
Not quite sure if it is a case of low posters making posts about this as of recent or just a case of more and more generic 'scammers'

That's why we all should use Paypal and not as a gift. When I'm buying something and someone says pay as a gift or bank transfer, I wont and will only go ahead if I can pay through paypal goods or services.

Why anyone would pay for something on a forum or anywhere else as a paypal gift or bank transfer is beyond me.

The guy only has 13 posts and I think 99% of them are replying to wanted adverts although he has been a member since 2009 so may be a legit reason? ...

Thanks for the replies appreciated. Its a real shame that these type of people plague enthusiast forums. Paid as goods via PayPal as suggested above so should get sorted.
In reply to the above post no contact since the 28th November and if you look at his posts he seems to have offered all types/ages of parts although very strange to have been a member for so long.

You should have no issues getting your money back then, paypal will sort you out.

It is a shame but sounds like a scammer to me too.
