On Mar 28, 2013, at 6:27 AM, Andrew

I still have the 7.65" 6 rib procharger crank pulley for sale in
excellent shape and condition. I'm asking 100gbp shipped for it. I
will be shipping via UPS or FedEx whichever you prefer and shall
accept payment via Western union or Money gram. What's your shipping
address?

thanks,
Andy.

Me:
Could you take a pic of the pulley with your screen name next to it. Who manufactured the pulley? I prefer paypal over money transfers. dumThank you

He emailed me the same type deal about basically brand new TA ebony seats and included pics. He told me 400gbp shipped, and these seats would prob go for 1200 easily. Told me his PP was dormant and to use money gram. Good chance he's a scammer

I sent him an email back explaining I have over 70 positive feedback on eBay/heat ware/etc and would prefer him to ship first. He said he can COD, which is a little better if I am able to inspect the contents before handing over cash. I asked what company he will be using, so I can check their regulations on such. Will report back

Don't know if it helps but if you mail (USPS) a US Postal money order and don't get your stuff it's mail fraud. Federal offense, like the FBI get called in, no BS.

I still have no desire to mail 600$ to the UK to someone who obviously is trying to scam many people. It's pretty apparent he's trying to scam multiple people by offering super low prices. Don't waste your time
