    Scammers are here... look out!

    I just thought id bring this to everyones attention so hopefully nobody falls for this guy.

    I have previously had a WTB post in the for sale section and was approached by a guy called Ernest Cole. He claimed to be from the UK and answered a post of mine looking for a set of Recaro tilt bases. I received an email from him claiming he would sell me some bases for 500 pounds including freight to NZ. That was the first issue I had - too cheap! Then once ive asked for photos he has sent through photos of bases other people have seen on the site. He is very persistant and claims his paypal is not working and wanted me to deposit the payment straight into his bank account.

    If you get approached by Ernest Cole (ecoleltd@gmail.com) please be very careful and I would suggest you run for the hills.

    Note: for those living in Texas, find a shovel and dig yourself a hole to hide in.

    thanks for the heads up Andy 74.
