Re: Scam alert




Yeah, you have to be vigilant, there was scam out of Canada last year concerning Max Wedge parts and early B-bodies, one of my good friends almost got caught up in it, a funny thing the guy selling the stuff wanted the money now and when we offered to come and pick the stuff up he wouldn't return our calls. The point is that these scumbags are everywhere, we have to be extremely careful, I hate to see anyone get taken

It is real. It is on Halefield Rd., near A1055, other side from the river. Do you think that the police would look into it? I know quite a few people in London. I should ask one of them to have a look. Too bad it's not Manchester, I know a couple of pretty big cops there.

I get a lot of that type of crap, usually from ads in craigslist.
To just have 5 minutes with one of them...

If you were to tell me the UK address I could try &
check if it's real
or made-up. They could pick up any old genuine address but
it might not
be an area that's likely to have a warehouse?
Dont want anyone spoiling US/UK Mopar relations! ;)
