themodifiedkid Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have also emailed the guy last nite to see if this was a fiddle and he replied earlier saying that this was still available and where abouts am I from. I replied so interested to see if I get a reply back. Im not interested in buying this but just don't want to see a club member get screwed over! Well looks like together we will hunt him down:hunter: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themodifiedkid Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Has he said where he lives yet? No he hasnt mentioned that yet, i will wait again for a reply and see what he comes up with. I got the impression from the add that he was based in London area, but could have mis read. But does certainly seem a bit strange not just with the replies he has been sending but also it just being so cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2jzrx7 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I emailed another 6 speed setup from crsigslist with the same thing. Just transfer the funds over. Sounds like a scam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Still no reply to me saying ill collect from scotland, scam for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrastang Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Tell him you can have a local member collect for you Im in scotland I could go pick it up for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themodifiedkid Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Still no reply to me saying ill collect from scotland, scam for sure. I got a reply today see below: Hi Colin, i'm not from London..i'm from moray scotland All the bits are included. The gearbox is in very good shape Regards! Frank The only thing is I didn't even mention anything about London, I meerly said that I could pick this up!!! Make of this what you will, but is safe to say I would be very suspicious Although might even turn out to be legitemate, so whoever does want this approach with caution. My job is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My job is done i have ask him to talk on to phone this was his response: Mike, if I could talk on the phone would have done it with you but unfortunately I can not. Friday I was operated on maxillary, now I have a braces in mouth and only if I can breathe a few words. doctors told me that 10-15 days after surgery like this this will be the situation. Another problem...my lawyer just informed me to avoid to use any kind of bank transactions for the moment. I'm in divorce with my wife and my bank account is temporary suspended because we need to make half of everything. If the money arrive in my account i will be forved to share with my ex...and i realy don't want to do that. hope you understand But this is not a problem, i will contact my partner and i will forward his bank account details so you can do the bank transfer Regards!
