There is a scam going about at present whereby an advertiser for wanted vehicle parts (& maybe other things) gets an email from someone saying they have the parts he/she needs. When an enquiry is made back as to the price etc. the scammer comes back with a price asking for money to be forwarded by Western Union money transfer (or some other insecure method & sometimes in Euro's). When they are asked for photos or more detailed info about the parts, nothing further is heard, & those foolish enough to send the money do not receive any goods. The scammer gives the following names and address:
Michael King
address - Flat 17, 125C, Clapton Common, London, E5 9AB UK.
E-mail - michaelkingltd@gmail.com
or
Edward Oliver
address - Flat 17, 125C, Clapton Common, London, E5 9AB UK.
E-mail - oliverautospares@gmail.com
They may also operate under other names at the same address.
The contact appears to come in reply to adverts where an email address is given & usually via web advertising. Two friends advertising for bus parts recently had emails.
Looks like this scammer has been about for some time as this warning given out by the Wolseley Owners club http://www.wolseleyforum.com/index.php?showtopic=8746 dates back to January
