FYI We've seen loads of scammers on nutz recently. I don't know why I bother. but there you go.
I've caught one on a troll 'want to buy' post I made. In comes the 'contact this other guy who will scam you' private message.
I'll email him and see if he'll sell me some TE37 in a size that doesn't exist. And then I'll never pay.

I guess I'm amusing myself and proving the point. Call me a w*nker if you will. He's emailed me pictures of CE28N reps since they're the closest thing in dimension  http://instagram.com/p/CbklQLsAFas |

I want some 12” wide Unobtainium ORIGINAL rims for my Unicorn MX-5 1.7Lt Mk 2.
wot u got bro?
Sorry….
I’m just so sick and tired of this new world.
Well, new to me. It all started to go crap about oh, 1999 ish.
I’ve bought some great looking stuff off Facebook through PayPal.
It’s ALL be a total scam!.
It’s so believable, but glad to say that after a month of “no-show” good old PayPal ALWAYS returns my money.
I mean what are these scammers getting out of it if PayPal just refund my money?
I don’t understand, my head hurts.
I only ever buy now if it’s through PayPal. 🙄
Looking forward to our club track day 🤪
Regards.
Rich.
Oh crap!
I’ve just heard the results of the qualifying for the F1.
Balls, it’s like the ‘Likely Lads’ all over again …. Go look it up. ….. Zed is old enough to know….

what are these scammers getting out of it if PayPal just refund my money? your details? plenty of info given freely through private sales (& used in packaging!!!  ) nothin for nothing - like farcebook & instagwham being 'free' (YOU are the product they sell  ) - forums have a lot of data held & sold on and it's all legal (in the smallprint you didn't read when joining  ) as to knowing, I'm old enough to have forgotten  great story though Rich. |

I'm guessing reverse image Search shows the image of the wheels is not original

I keep asking for photos of the rear of the wheel but they just send me a photo of a different wheel.
throwing prarrie canoe at the wall to see what sticks right.
I've now told them I'm upping the budget on the advice of my nephew's friend's uncle (etc..)
