Yep we kind of got an idea when the guy came back with a story about how he could not talk on the phone . I hope it was because he had been punched in the gob . Tell you what I very nearly sent him the money . Good old ten tenths mates saved me a lot of money . Thanks again

I placed an 'AX block wanted' ad about 5 years ago and was contacted by email from a guy in Blackpool with, supposedly, what I wanted. After haggling on price I asked for his address which eventually came through to send a cheque and he was going to despatch. Coincidentally next day stepson asks if I could take him to look at and probably buy a car he had seen advertised in St. Annes, which is next door to Blackpool. Rather than post a check to the block seller I emailed him to say I would call in that evening, collect block and pay cash. Needless to say when we got to Blackpool there was no such address (although the road mentioned did exist - presumably to satisfy casual investigation). Enquiries at a local pub revealed the house number provided was just a derelict plot. The seller never responded to find out where I was or what happened to the deal.
Let the buyer beware! |
