Scammer alert. on this page in this forum

I have posted a few adverts for gear that I need on these pages.
I have been called and emailed by a few decent fellahs both from this forum, and their mates, I have since met and done business with most.

hi again if you were some of the blokes!

HOWEVER, recently i was contacted by a forum member allegedly from England, his username is

GrahamT

i dont want to do the bloke an injustice by calling him names if he is either legitimate or had his account hacked or something.

but everyone beware.

The list of parts i wanted, he had, all in excellent A1 condition, he could deliver economically and quickly. western union transfer was prefered. african origin.
spider senses tingling but needing a a part i continued.
however, eventually smelling a rat, as basically no one has hockey stick chrome trim for a MK1 on this planet, and he had a couple of sets reasonably priced and ready to send i called him after requesting his phone number.

nothing checks.

beware!

i would love to be proved wrong and villified for name calling, go for it, prive me wrong. but all be cautious

    Somebody post an ad looking for a flux capacitor? Perhaps he has one of these in A1 condition too? That would be sweet...

    m glad others have had suspicions about this scammer, as i do not want to talk out of school on a fellow ford nutter, however, he seems to be on the prowl.

    be cautious.

    I've got a few in A1 condition if you're interested.
    Send me your bank details, credit card number, drivers license number, a western union payment and a paypal accountname and i'll get it ready for you.
