  This ad was put in the classifieds by mistake (ME) sorry. Does anybody here know of or had dealings with an Ian Sparrow from the UK informing me he has the parts im looking for in the wanted section. ??????? ken ct.

  Ken, I've had others reply to my ads saying they were from the UK and they have all been scam artists.

You can kind of tell by their response...Usually something like "Hey buddy, I have the parts you're looking for" instead of a true EFV8 guy revealing some specific details of the part.

I asked one scammer for photos and he provided some that were copied from an Ebay auction.

So beware, they are very good at what they do. You can usually reveal them by their lack of V8 knowledge if you ask them something specific and they reply with a generic response.

  Tell him you are going to the UK on vacation and would like to stop by and pick up the parts to save shipping or that you have a friend in the UK that could pick up the parts and bring them in his luggage when he comes to visit you. Ask him where he lives. Shipping on all but very small light parts is very expensive since it is almost all air.

  I don't play with them and I don't think it's a good idea for anyone. These scumbags may send you virus you don't need on your computer.
