I just got a couple of PM's from someone claiming to be in the united kingdon, responding to a couple of wanted ads I've placed on this forum.

No right thinking person would think that I would bother to import a set of wheel nuts, and a couple of brake pins from the UK. FFS!
I know none of you are that dumb either, but just so you know we're not imune to scammers here either.

Maybe we post up the username of users who are definately scammers here, and they get deleted? (Dan will have to do this, I don't have the power)

mwoods. Zero posts. delete please Dan.and then delete the post with their name in it.
