I was wondering the same thing, how do they actually scam you? Do they take delivery then stop the transfer of funds or is it simpler than that? Forgive my naievity (sp) I'm just a simple honest chap Unsure

We had this with a guy who out of nowhere came on and ordered 4 Plaslode nailers at £600 a pop, arsehole paid on a stolen card and a month later Gnatwest yanked the funds out of our account. Bloody gits.Angry

Hi, You recently received a response to your advert on PistonHeads from 'pjames00232@gmail.com'. The patterns of behaviour exhibited would suggest to us that they are not a genuine buyer. We recommend that you ignore the enquiry. Common scam attempts are detailed here: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/warnings.asp or http://www.vstag.co.uk Regards,PH Pistonheads.com - Proactive in combating fraud

Nice to see they are on the ball, as got this emailed to me this am
