What if he has coronavirus and means well but can't?
Just a thought
I’ve seen it tried on other car forums and it was a waste of resources.Should we have our own hall of shame where known or suspected scammers etc. can be highlighted somewhere for everyone to be aware of? Perhaps also including some tips on safe trading, if there's not already. Just a thought.
I could be wrong but is our friend back??... Just received this dodgy PM from a new member, never posted before.View attachment 203247
The member quoted above doesn't exist, he's 51 and from Silicone Valley. Red flags all over - warning to all be careful.
Admin can you check IPs??
DS_thomas if you are genuine I apologies.
I just got the very same PM but with my part listed....
Busted!
Admin - anything you can do to sort this out? Otherwise you risk many users being scammed.
Can't the police trace that guys location from his IP address? Not sure how it all works but surely there's some way.
No reason why they would be; it's a civil matter.The Police? They couldn’t catch cold
They won’t be bothered one bit

From my experience they don't really give a flying eff about anything small like this, probably get looked into by a new officer weeks and weeks down the line if your lucky or but to the back of the folder full of other small time things they never look into, they can hardly deal with moderate to high level crimes let alone small ones, hence why it takes them hours to come out to something small like a break in or vandalism, its not priority for them.No reason why they would be; it's a civil matter.
The police don't deal with civil disputes period. They aren’t part of the police’s remit.From my experience they don't really give a flying eff about anything small like this, probably get looked into by a new officer weeks and weeks down the line if your lucky or but to the back of the folder full of other small time things they never look into, they can hardly deal with moderate to high level crimes let alone small ones, hence why it takes them hours to come out to something small like a break in or vandalism, its not priority for them.
