Yo guys, I got totally scammed by the guy who advertised a rochester corvette fuel injection from 1958/1959 (he renewed the advertisement):thumbsdown:. An I think it is a friend of Gaby (or the same person). Paid him 8 weeks ago, nothing received since than and since 6 weeks no communications anymore. I allready was suspicious: in the mails he didnot seem to have that much knowledge of the fi, no paypal, no telephone, a non-English name, living in the North of GB. I asked for a copy of his ID, which he refused stating that he is not scammer and that he had enough potential buyers, so take it or leave it (smart move!)
On the other hand: I had his bankcode, his adress and wtf, why would you scam someone with such a specific and rare item? I googled his name, details, no scam reports. The adress existed. At the end, I did not listen enough to my feelings, too greedy I think and paid him.
The info he gave me:

I will contact the bank in London about this, see if they want to give my money back or give his real adress, but I am afraid they cannot do much. If you have ideas what to do, share it. I am from the Netherlands, how is it possible to give this info to the police in Great Britain? If somebody knows other organisation who can use this information, pleas inform me.
