He is trying to get me too. He has expressed interest in our TR4A rearend.
Luckily, we already have an interested buyer so we don't need to deal with
him. I find it very interesting that he has chosen the VTR Classifieds to
work his scam. Hardly seems worth the effort.

Guys:
I've just traded several e-mails from someone calling himself Arron
Trotter, from Herfordshire, U.K. He was inquiring about my ad on the VTR web
site for Stainless Steel hardware kits. When we'd worked out the kits he
wanted for a TR2 and the shipping to the U.K., he came back with the story
about his "associate" sending a postal money order for $1000.00, and I was to
keep the $150.00 for the kits and send the balance on to him. Looks like the
old car buying (stealing) scam has made its way into the parts end of the
hobby. Beware!
