Hi All, just to highlight that there is a possible scam on the classifieds WTD section.

Put an add up looking for components and recieved a very suspicious looking couple of emails, told the guy that im goin to pass as it seems a bit dodgy:

1. Good day, I still have requested item available for sale in great condition.Get back to me if interested in my offer. Talbot Ericson

2. Dear David Moffitt… I did encountered a problem trying to uploadphotos to you. I’m asking for a 120GBp shipped to you. Ping me yourcomplete shipping address and phone #? I have an account with UPS so iwill be shipping via UPS. I wait to read from you soon. Thanks,Talbot Ericson.

Watch out for this character his email was : thericguy@gmail.com

Seems a little odd he is looking £120 for a component that is £30 new and the fact that I asked and also mentioned in my mail what the item possibly was as he never mentioned what he was offering for sale.

Talbot Ericson talks funny.

He sounds like a great guy, think I’ll mail him and say hi.

Talbot Ericson
sounds like a late ’90’s mobile phone model
does it have good talktime?

here’s his brother, Talbot Sunbeam;

here’s a Tall ‘Bot

and his son Tall boy..

His grandfather, Talbot Lago, was rather stylish

Looks like the lovely Talbot is making a name for himself.

Amusing read but it does go off on a bit of a tangent!
