    Default Seller in UK Question

    Is Ian McKellen the guy who contacts a bunch of people and then takes their money? I got two exact emails from him on the two parts I am looking for. Thanks.

    offers you his address and cell no in his reply

    More times than not, the IP comes back to UK, but they are definitely scammers.

    There is this amazing technology many of you will remember from days gone by, the telephone !
    I buy a lot of stuff from around the world and always talk with sellers or know of them through research or other racers
    Lets keep the lines open and talk with each other when we suspect a scam out there, don't be scarred to offend a seller or buyer before changing the bucks
    ApexSpeed is a great forum to keep the scammers at bay
