Anton Redman Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 No big deal but would you buy a car without looking at in the metal ? If it looks too good to be true it is, Glad you found out without loosing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glacier1 Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Thanks anton :) as a matter of fact I bought 2 cars without looking at them, simply because it was an ebay auction on american vehicles and I knew the company's reputation. I had reservations from the start about this person, glad I didn't take it any further. I've notified a government website to warn others of this letter/email address, I put all the details on, hopefully they can trace the guy from the details provided! :)cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
