Ok blue beastly thanks for your input, very constructive![]()
So I see a seller with 100% positive feedback score over 1400, my first reaction is that its probably a safe seller.
Guess I am just another easy mark then - as there are plenty of adverts breaking whatever "if you bid on this you get a wheel nut, contact me for other bits...."
If someone sets out to defraud, steal or commit a criminal act; I dont think blaming the victim for falling for it is very useful, be that an "off" Ebay purchase, a phishing email or a man from the water company come to check some old dears taps etc!
I hope the scammer gets what he deserves...
It is amazing what information you can dig out using a bit of thought and Google.
OK, you have a fair point.Looking at that Defender and the info given it I'd assume without doubt that it was stolen.
If I bought parts off it to make it worthwhile for a thief to go out and take someone's pride and joy then yes....I'd deserve to get ripped off.
No doubt you asked dozens of questions and saw paperwork to make sure that wasn't the case.
Many don't bother
Should be on here ripped off by Eddie fear@ tobysleeper why have you been stung in the past too
Good advice that Flat, don't jump in feet first and suffer afterwards no matter how legit they look, what I've found out recently is absolutely shocking![]()
