FRAUD WARNING;
It finally happened, Ive been defrauded by MORRIS GOODWILL of 48 West Road South Yorkshire S64 9NL UK, phone 44-702-406-9597. He claimed to have a nearly new XS1 seat, mirrors and headlight shell and brackets in original green. After the money changed hands by Western Union all my spidy senses started telling me it was a scam. This was reinforced when he told me that the shipment would be made through interparcelexpress.co.cc, and he made the mistake of answering the phone at that 'business" when I phoned trying to find the parcel.
Magically then he claimed the Irish Customs department is holding the items pending me paying $95 in fees.
Lesson learned, I have never been scammed before and hope never to again. I took numerous precautions and still missed the vital sign.....which was?????- he wanted payment by Western Union, not Paypal.
Heads up that he found my parts request off this forum, so he will be trolling for more victims. I have my in-house fraud guys going after him, but dont hold out much hope of seeing my $250 back. I have also reported him to all the appropriate law enforcement agencies but thats a waste of time and energy in any event.
