Parts Scammer - Be very careful!!!!!!!!!
Fellow Cobrafiles:
I have been in contact with a parts supplier, or claimed to be, in UK. The guys name is Terry Cooper.
Terry Cooper’s claimed address/contact:
5 Albion Place Leeds LS1 6JL, United Kingdom
+447035974913
He will promise parts and have a US reference for you to contact. THIS IS A SCAM! He will sell parts at resonable pricing then ask for payment. He will then claim issues with customs and ask for more $. Well I only fell for the initial scam and did not send additional funds. I do have a contact in the UK and that is when the jig was up! SCAM, so be cautious.
Basically he contacted me through a request for a Lucas #104 dash mirror via the SAAC website. Scam Scam Scam 
My advice, deal USA and be very careful sending MO etc as you are getting taken. Just wanted you guys to be aware so he gets nothing else.
Yes, I was slow on the PU.........Jeff |

Good call
Thanks Jeff for the warning. Enough things to get our blood boiling nowadays without being taken by the unscrupulous.

FRAUD ALERT!!!
Ad # 3134560 March 12, 2009
Build a better mouse trap and the mice get smarter. 
Had a new user come in today and send out a flurry of messages that may be a scam. Seemed to be a guy that had parts for everybody...used the same message a dozen times:
My name is Terry Cooper. I saw your wanted ad and I'm just finding out if you still needed 1975 Suzuki tm100/125 stock Oem Swingarm as I have to offer. Please shoot me a mail > terry.cooper65@yahoo.co.uk
Terry Cooper
4 York Street London W1U 6PJ
United Kingdom
+447035974913
Looks legitimate, but scammers usually use the same text over and over again and their English is not quite right. If you received one of these messages, I would proceed with caution.

Jeff
Glad you caught it in time. The scammers are everywhere.
By the way, are you still interested in buying my boat?

Appears Mr. Cooper lives in many places!
Caution when buying..... He has a US Reference as well so don't be fooled.
In the mean time I am still looking for Lucas #104 mirror! |

Jeff - I've got one !! Just contact my agent as I've been called away on important business for the next few weeks. Actually - I'll have him send you a bank cheque for more than the postage. If you'll just deposit the cheque and MO me the balance that'll be sweet.

Yes a hunt, that would be great! Maybe he knows my Nigerian Uncle that just past on?
I am told by a friend in UK that he called the # and found the gentlemen had a South African type accent. No surprise there....dialect is something the English take serious.
Guess it is 2 credits towards the School for Life Long Learning.....

Geez, tough crowd - nothing like kicking a guy when he's down! 
Thanks for the heads up, Jeff. We tend to trust each other in this little Cobra world we inhabit, and 99% of the time our trust is justified. Every once in a while one of these scumbags slithers in through a crack, and we do something based on trust that we would never do in the "outside" world. Thanks for the heads up, Jeff - at least we know what rock this snake hides under now. |

You are flying us there Doug
767Jockey Soon as you are back to 100% you are flying a nice bunch of the guys over for a week end visit. Sure we can borrow a plane for this little trip. No guns allowed. Just Baseball bats, like the ones used for fishing, after all this is a fishing party looking for a stinken piece of whale crap. I love my fellow brother an would not kick him when he is down but trying to scam me, the punishment fits the crime. In some country's if you are caught stealing or this kind of scam, they cut off your hand.  We are only talking about a couple of lumps and a broken jaw for thief and lieing. |
