FILFAN Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 There's a bloke that walks around near my friend's place with head down, shaking it. He's 40's/50's and bit freaky l whats that got to do with the price of bread?
User0083 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 whats that got to do with the price of bread? Typing on phone, fat fingers... Read full story! Norman's sanity check post made me think of it.
FILFAN Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 ah that makes sense now though i did think you were calling me "fat fingers" for a min though was gonna drive down there and whoop ya ass
Steve_Farrimond Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 reported as well. also sent him a message asking why a bike Westie looks like a Caterham? and why he's using pictures of a friends car?
User0083 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 ah that makes sense now though i did think you were calling me "fat fingers" for a min though was gonna drive down there and whoop ya ass From our quiet house, away from main streets we can still hear constant traffic (window open) and many siren's. so I'd take my chances on you getting here... Let alone whoopin' ma ass!
User0083 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Has anyone sent him a link to Norman's blog? Innocently... "Is this the same chassis?"

pickmaster Andy Lowe Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I recently sold our motorhome then got tipped off it was on gumtree for half price It was a fraudulent advert The correct way to report it is to the police at action fraud http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/fraud-az-online-fraud Call or email they are trying to clamp down on this
Norman Verona Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 OK, I reported it to Action Fraud. I was going to give up at page 99 but carried on regardless to the end. I'm exhausted now and need to lie down.

Coyote Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I recently sold our motorhome then got tipped off it was on gumtree for half price It was a fraudulent advert The correct way to report it is to the police at action fraud http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/fraud-az-online-fraud Call or email they are trying to clamp down on this There's a long thread on PistonHeads about flogging V5's for ringing. BiBs on there suggested that the best route would usually be via the Police's Vehicle Crime Intelligence Unit: vehiclefraud@avcis.pnn.police.uk, which does seem to result in action being taken. With this fellow being out of the country I doubt much can be done directly but, were it on their radar, one would hope that anyone in the UK subsequently trying to change V5 details would be asked a few questions. In case anyone ever does a search, the "car" in question is on V5 serial number: AT 0422089 VIN/Chassis number is SA9WSIWI71X039106
CL290005 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Norm You could put an ebay advert on with pictures of the chassis same title etc for 1 euro, so people who search will see your advert aswell, then just say the advert is for information about your chassis in your barn, ebay may then contact you and so may others considering the purchase of the chassis! But you may not be bothered! Worth a thought Chris
