Need help in Vancouver BC
« on: August 03, 2008, 02:11:30 »
Hi,

I need some assistance.  
I have been looking for a gear box for my car for a long time now and have been offered one in Vancouver BC Canada but need someone to go check it out for mee to make sure it is ok, that is, that it is ligitamate and correct before I pay out the dollars to get it shipped to Australia.
Is there any member in that general area that would be able to do this for me. I can give photos to check against etc.  I am happy to pay all out of pocket expenses.

If it is in the Greater Vancouver area I'd be glad to check it out for you.

Hi Jerry,

It turned out to be someone scamming on BenzWorld Forum offering to sell items, free shipping. Pay the money and get nothing.
When I said that I will have someone come around to check, suprise suprise, no more discussion or contact and the initial contact numbers turned out to be fictional.
Joseph Lo offered to go and check.

So warning to all here,  the byline used by this person on BenzWorld.com was 'Markfloww' and the snag is free shipping, send me a deposit, I will ship on a COD.

Now did you say you wanted to know where a 5 speed gear box is.   I can tell you where there is a phantom one.  Just two hours away from you.  Give me $100 and I will give you the address, Free shipping cos there is nothing to ship but it will be COD!  LOL
