talking about dodgy, i had a new parachute sent over from the US via FedEx two weeks ago and several days later a got an email from a "fedex" customer rep in South Africa telling me i was overcharged some 130 dollars in freight charges. respond via http://www.. with bank details for refund. forwarded the email to the real fedex people.

There where two more similar adds in the Gold Coast Bullintin, one was for a Mobile Home- "worth $220 000, sell for $139 000, $200 000 spend on interior. etc etc and a Boat - Cougar cat (a Big one) - similar deduction about $60 000 less than, the Going selling price. This time a mobile number, same number for both adds. Also said "email photos available". Adds on different pages, i pick up on the same mobile number.Anyway i though maybe a divorce of something, maybe genuine.But the set out of the adds seem to be very similar, to the dodgy ones.

Hi,

 

here is one for you, advertising a well known fabric aircraft at less than 1/2 the going price. you turn up and get the spiel, "Oh it had a minor accident and the structural repair was done but fabric is not the owner passed away before doing it. Therefore no registration marks and the seller knows nothing about aircraft, there are log books and all details are filed in.

 

An owner recognised his stolen aircraft and went to have a look taking a mate to do the inspection - the mate was a police officer.

 

Two of the group got arrested on the spot the others have "gone missing".

 

This group looked for isolated or little used hangers, stole the aircraft removed wing and tail fabric and made up false log books in the name of someone in a local cemetery.

 

According to the local papers the two caught got 10 years and 7 years respectfully, the other members of the gang have not been found.

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!!

 

I had a call yesterday from some dodgy mob in Hong Kong that obviously got my name from the RAAus web site.

 

Some brilliant promises they were making to!

Brilliant! I once had the satisfaction of recovering a car 2 years after it had been stolen and it repaid the frustration of losing other bits n bobs over the years. Was this local and recent Icebob?
