This one stood out as a warning.

The guy contacted me via phone, polite and chatty, then sent some pics of the item to my email. At this point I checked his number here

https://www.numberlookup.com.au/

Theres a long list of complaints.

I then double checked the screen shot pics he sent me with google images and guess what, he ripped them straight from the net[emoji38]

I strung him along requesting a postage estimate and he voice called me with a quote and his bank details this morning, I strung him along a little further then, shall we say, ended the game.



So if get a call from Steven Phelps on 0484697368 Beware.



If anyones had the same experience with any other of these muppets, post the details for the sake of others in the car community.
Yet, you go to the police with this information they will tell you that they can't do anything till after he screws you.

Laws there to protect these scumbags more than their victims.
