THIS IS DISGUSTING!!! How can you treat people like that? all we do is love and cherish our old cars. I cant believe people can do that sort of thing to each other and I live on the costa del sol! every person down here whos made themselves rich off other peoples misfortune eventually ends up skint and homeless and im talking super rich with yachts the lot! he deserves whats coming to him and it will happen believe me ive seen it happen loads before!

UPDATE!!

Too much conclusion jumping going on here.

'caddylover' appears to have only made the mistake of posting up an advert that sounded a bit like one used by some scammer elsewhere.

I am convinced this has all been a case of mistaken identity and apologise to Martin for a forum over-reaction.

read the first post woman, gosh.

basically there were a lot of similarities between martin's post and another 'martin' who's been ripping people off.. just an unfortunate coincidence.

have to say im dissappointed to learn that people have ringing this guy and giving him abuse even though we clearly said we hadn't confirmed it was the same person :sad:

I did you pleb...but he uses different tags and e-mails so i was sayin does anyone know who he is other than him being called martin?!
I dont understand people who do things like that..its all abit cowardly and they are abit sad..

"im disappointed" you sound like a right old fart!

Hope you haven't had too much grief Caddylover..it def wasnt me as you'd recognise the accent..and being one of few geordies on here (unless they were off other forums)... :laugh:
