Gav i have 2 in the shed but with no lights i can see them im sure mine are made by Bosh (sp) and im sure they also dont have jetronic on the bottom but mine are out of S1 Could it be off a EFI FRST or do they like the cossie run all of the main ecu

Also it says its made in Germany

Wounder

did he pay the same way as the others did by paying the money straight into an account? Was this a recent transaction as well as I'm sure he said on the other thread about certain dates when he wasnt about etc, etc

If I was you I'd be driving your class 1 straight through the feckers house. I'm amazed no ones actually knocked his door and stretched his neck seen as though hes ripped a fair few people off and tried swerving the blame with the "someones hacked my account on LOTS of different BB's and it's not me honest load of bollocks. Someone has it in for me

The last I read on that other thread before it went off in all sorts of directions was that he came out with an excuse (as above) and was in contact with the law over it.

Not sure what the outcome is on the other one but have you been round there yet or has your mate? .... to get the money back?

Dont hold your breath but good luck in getting your money back.

Theres too much of this sort of thing going on but I guess where communication via internet, etc, etc gets easier then so does the scams.
