Oh dear, busted.

He's in my town and I haven't heard of him or his classic car dealership.

Lol .... That's quite funny if it wasn't so serious to the potential of what some one could get for their hard earned

Isn't this Fraud? it is deliberate misrepresentation of the facts, for profit.

hmg · 13-04-15, 08:54 AM

Yes it is if the facts don't stack up.

As always though.

Buyer beware.

I guess this seller underestimated the power of the Internet, and the ability of news to cross between web sites. On Facebook, it says "sold" on the 8th March, but guess that must now be wrong. What a con-man!

Just been to a bodyshop in the town who I suspect have had dealings with him.

They would pass no comment but lots of hums and eyebrow raising occured.

Coxy · 13-04-15, 04:15 PM

did this chap used to own/run a VW restoration/camper place?

Hanuman · 13-04-15, 06:02 PM

He's got a camper in his limited listings on le baie

Coxy · 13-04-15, 08:03 PM

His name is Adam Muirhead, used to run the Old Volks Home.

His reputation back then is now different to how it is now...
