Default Who lives in Blackpool?

Hi Guys,

I'm planning to buy some STI 2006 parts from a guy in Blackpool that advertises on Belgian websites. He says he has a garage that brakes Subaru's. The only way I can do business with him is to pay in front. He doesn't have Paypal. Now I'm a little bit worried I'll pay the money and never get my parts (more than 3000 pounds) Is there perhaps someone that lives in the area that can check this guy out? I'm willing to pay some gasmoney!
Hope someone can help!

Greetings from Belgium!

Dieter

I don't think it is scoobyspares. He said he wasn't a Scoobynet member.
For now I just have his name and mail adres, asked him for the adress and a phone nr.
The name is Steve and the mail adress: stevst@ymail.com
Will get back with more info!
Thx!

You are definitely doing the right thing in checking this out. Too many people have been burned with scammers or very dodgy people.

As above get some more detailed info so someone may be able to help you.

Go on the LADS forum as most of the members are near Preston which is 20 miles from Blackpool
Anyone who is a established breaker some of the LADS would know of him

Tread very careful at this stage

I live just outside Blackpool.

Never heard of this lad.

If you are spending £3000 ish pounds, use a well known breaker such as Scoobyspares, who are up the road from Blackpool.

I doubt Blackpool Honda would be breaking Subaru's...?!?

I'm thinking the same. Price is also a bargain so I think this is a big scam!
