Scam warning - UK

  • A scammer is using car forums to sell 'a garage full of parts'... his reason for selling is that his wife/girlfriend wants rid of all the parts and he needs the money to finish his Land Rover.


    The parts for sale are sought after and all listed cheaply with delivery included... payment is by PayPal only.


    He has appeared on various forums of late and recently did an Escort forum out of at least £1000!


    His IP address traces back to an NTL IP in the Northampton area and Northampton Police have already opened a case file on him.


    He lists his addresses as:


    31 west walk
    corby old village
    corby
    northants


    and his inlaws live at


    1 west view
    corby old village
    corby
    northants
    nn17 1as


    Although these addresses are false.


    His PayPal account was under the address:


    mmdines-666@hotmail.co.uk


    Using the names Mark Dines and Martin (or Martyn) Dines.


    PLEASE BE VERY WARY OF NEW MEMBERS OFFERING PARTS AT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE PRICES!


    Thank for reading this and be careful out there. If you know any other forums that could benefit from this info, please pass it on.

    I highly doubt with Fabrice and Alex checking each and every registration along with my double-checking the 8er factory records, anyone of this caliber is getting through. After we had that one idiot last year get through before the 8er owner only access was implemented, we've not had a problem since.


    Now, that's not to say we have a problem with a certain UK 8er owner regarding lighting. That is, and continues, to be a disappointment to the 8er community.

    Im not going to try and explain myself again, instead i have stayed away and hung my head in shame.


    It was out of my control, i am sorry to the ones who have lost money but i am in there too.


    I am not, and never have been, a scammer :roll: so to tar me with the same brush is ridiculous.

  • Al,


    I had Patrick Aubepart on the phone today and he told me he sent you 200euros for an HID Kit last march that he never received could you please then send him back his money.
    very well appreciated.


    Also Could you please send me by mail all the threads you copied and other guys copied and sent you by mail.
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • The money he, and anybody else, sent me went straight to the supplier who clearly kept some of the money and didnt sent all of the kits out. This includes money taken for kits for family and personal friends.


    Im not getting into this debate again but i think the total stands at about £1500, £500 of which is my personal money.


    I love how one day i get an email asking for assistance and the next im branded a scammer :roll:

  • who said you were a scammer?


    You are offering to members HID kits so that means that you are a dealer. Right? The other members don't care where you get them from because they buy it from you. So that means that they trust you, right? They sent you money but you can't give them what they ask for, right? It is none of their business that you can or can't get it from somebody else, they expect it from you. So you are responsible to their eyes, right?
    It is logical if you receive money from them and you can't give them what they paid for you reimbourse them. Because you took a risk to deal you lost obviously so as a honest person you are, you have to send them back the money. You have been doing a business since you were dealing. As simple as that. I can understand that you have been ripped off as well and that's a real shame but you involved members who trusted you, so you are responsible for that. You have to admit that.
    Also please send me the folders cheers.
