some dodgy scammer...probably fat on uk forums

[Jon_nova1]

heres the news, i've just spotted this on another site, and its not here so heres your warning,

Some tool is going round saying hes got a garage full of stuff to sell, and his wife is making him, on the sites hes done it hes had ?700-?1000 before being caught so be warned my fellow enthusiasts;)

he claims to have lots of stuff, will probably register and say he has lots of nova stuff, and will only accept via paypal, the prices are redicilously cheap heres a few "examples" of his work

Scary thing is, once he has your address, and knows what kinda car you drive, then whats stopping him taking that kinda car you drive ;)

[Jon_nova1]

say it fast and it makes sense lol

it looks like hes one of those, ill hide behind my computer screen people, if he wanted cars it'd probs be easier getting local ones, unless the buyers are in northants

If your goingto buy anything off a forum then do the following:

Use a credit card and use paypal. If someone steals money from you then your credit card company will just charge it back from then it really is that simple. The onus is on the seller to prove that you recieved the goods.

I had someone owe me ?50 on amazon he was messing around loads so one phone call to egg and my money was back!

i personally wouldnt buy of a newish member unless i was goin to collect the item

its a shame though as there are prob loads of honest people who just register to a site to sell some old parts

or do as nick said and pay on your credit card through paypal
