I just got a couple of PM's from someone claiming to be in the united kingdon, responding to a couple of wanted ads I've placed on this forum.
No right thinking person would think that I would bother to import a set of wheel nuts, and a couple of brake pins from the UK. FFS!
I know none of you are that dumb either, but just so you know we're not imune to scammers here either.
BEWARE SCAMMERS!!!!!
