Hi all.

Just a quick FYI. Was going to purchase a bull bar for my freelander from a new user on here "bigrobbo1983". Turns out he's a scammer and sent me a text once Id arrived at the meet point that he had received a much bigger offer and the bar was no longer available. I doubt he even had it in the first place. Should have been more careful I guess but certainly will be in future. There's always one bad apple in a group of awesome people!

Known details at present:

Lives in or near Ashington (newcastle area)
Drives a gold 5dr Freelander
Works as a security guard
Phone number is 07447 401932


If anyone knows anything it would be much appreciated.

Well its not a "Scam" as such, but It would have been had I not sent any money across in the first place (as I was wary just in case), but instead he asked if I could get any 5dr Freelander roof bars. I went and purchased some after he said go for it, at which point we arranged to meet at Hexham at 3pm today. Im not hugely out of pocket (less than £50) and he doesnt have any more money off me at least, but Its just a heads up in future.

Apologies for making it seem more serious! You might want to amend the title from scammer to "rotten apple?"
