It appears we have one or more scammers working the RepRap forum.

This scammer posted his ad in response to a post in in:
Forum: RepRap User Groups::Australia, Melbourne RUG

He probably used the pseudonym, 'Gary Chilbert', to try to sell classic car parts to a Brit:

Gary, in the case that you are a real human being selling parts and so on, and not a drive by scammer, drop me an email and we'll sort this out, along with my profuse apologies. As it is, all the available evidence seems to indicate that we have a criminal here.

Person with same name contacted me about parts wanted on race-cars.com. Diverted me to company in UK that I cannot find on the internet. Listed area code is state of Washington, not Canada.

Thanks for the heads up. This thing smells.

Here is the response I received from the company in the UK

Dear Sir,

My Name is Dr Abel Emuo of Emulet Spares. Yes, Mr Gary talked to me about the parts as his were already bought. I have been busy for these past few days and currently do not have photo gallery of parts available in the warehouse. But I already know what you need. They are new an never used. I have estimates shipping and shipping from UK to OR will cost around a 100USD.. Please let us know on price. Alsoe-mail to us your complete shipping address so we can confirm with the one Mr Gary forwared us.


Thanks,

Beginning to look like a variation on the old Nigerian barrister scam.

I am not biting.

Gary Chilbert just sent me and email wanting to sell me chrome emblems for my vintage golf cart. This guy is a fraud.

Ahh don't send any money unless they can show pictures of orginal parts, heck taking quality pictures is a heck of lot less effort then actually producing the parts.
