Warning guys do not buy a thing from this guy he is a scammer. He sold a engine to a mate of mine for £650 and told him it was just redone. so he asked him for the paperwork and the guy said he could not find it but he called the people who did it to varifiy it. so fine my mate thought ok. so he bought it the car had been smashed on the passenger side when he was loading the engine he noticed the front cover was cracked and the crank sensor was broke .so he pointed it out and the guy said oh. I did not know my mate did not know any better so he said take a bit more off and I will get it fixed. so they agreed so off he went got home and took engine to HDC to be over hauled and put in the car.The engine was fubarred it took a direct hit on the timing cover so when they took it a part the head was broke. and they had to of known because the timing was all out and there was peices of the timing wheel inside but the had replaced thr wheel and forgot to clean it out and put belt on ,so he called him up and this guy played dumb and said he had no idea but he said the engine was just rebuilt, so my mate got the name of the place and called.They said the guy bought a used engine and had been in the other day to buy a timing wheel as he had smashed his car?
So my mate called him back and Shaz said he would post a cheque to him.Nedd less to say it never came.Then a few days later he disconected his mobile .and look who turns up on here.We have now contacted the police to hand this on as they were looking for him so warning this guy is note but a scam artist and will rip you off any way he can BEWARE

from my experiences with this kind of thing,albeit on places like this and once or twice from people i know, police will do nothing and nothing will come of it,most the time the dude on th ephone is just that,the real coppers will read the call and think, huff,wotever,but good luck and let us know if anything positive does happen

The police are charging him for fraud as he did rip me off I had recored conversations and the lot from this guy.Also the laws have changed now in regards to selling things online.He also ripped ebay of for a lot of money to so the police have said to me so one way or another he will get it.I have filed in court for a £1000 olus costs and he has no chance as he has not responded so it will go through and he will see a baliff soon.
