Guessing that topic has been removed as can't open it. If so shows the mods are on it! :thumbsup:

I've sold, bought and received for free a number of bits off the forum with no issues. Including a watch where the owner was running late, handed it to me and said "just pay me when you get home", which restored my faith in humanity.

However I did fall foul of one seller who was selling a lot of parts not as described and now have a damaged facelift bumper, that I don't know what to do with and a hole in my bank account.

Scammers are everywhere. Use your common sense and make sure you get all their details and if you don't know how to conduct a deal then don't unless you are aware of the risks and happy to do so.
