Just noticed on another forum that there's been a spate of rip offs buy someone in the buy and sell areas. Basically he posts that he's having a garage clearout with loads of parts at bargain prices. Buyers pay with paypall and never see anything. Appears he's done a ford forum and an opel one (among others). An example of his work:

Be careful out there.

Till next time.

ha. I think we should all play along with it if he comes here. Ask him for rear wiper blades, power steering looms, electric window mechanisms etc.

Turns dodgy quite quickly to be fair Starts off saying he has a few parts for sale Then that turns into alloys Then full interiors Then he "remembers" he has a load of engines hidden away at the back of the garage You'd be gutted if you'd paid him - they do seem like bargain basement prices
