Buyers beware

   Further to my post I received this reply from the vendor (when asked if they were the same person as Aman)
[I would like to point out that the nice person whose reply is below has the same email as the person thet Mickey_H and myself were discussing (see above) on 28th July. This persons email address displays in Outlook Express as Aman Singh - strangely enough - the same name was used in our original Amans email address (which was the one used in the transactions that started this thread)
I will forward on this link to him and see what he says]

	mickey_h - I have seen what you are thinking of. bmwparts4sale was 'selling' stuff but I have (as per the rules) edited his posts. I suspect that this was Aman as his IP address was similar as was his advert and his location. It is partly for this reason that we currently don't allow advertising on the forum but if he pays his money he can take out a proper advert.

	Nice to see things have worked out.......eventually. Try advertising it on ebay if no one on here wants it.

	Hi Everybody Thanks for all your comments and hopefully it was all the helpful messages that put some pressure on AMAN, he eventually delivered albeit about 4 weeks too late but the ECU has arrived and it works, so I'll have to try and sell it now.

	Sorry to hear about this Rip off merchant, There is another trader who calls his outfit R.P.A auto's who done me out of �200 back in december. He's from the same neck of the woods as this Aman fella-NW london. Maybe they are mates?? Just a thought...... Hope you get it sorted Nick.

	He is also suspended from this forum and his posts have been deleted (record kept of IP addresses, etc.) but as per the rules people should use the for sale pages but should also try and obtain a postal address & landline number for security reasons when buying online. As you do not know the person selling and the forum is open to the whole world in reality you have to be careful. Anyway, please report further items to me, Howard or Webdunk. Killian

	Iain H and PHH-525isport, I suggest the both of you get together on this one, perhaps if there are any other members that have had the misfortune of dealing with this as**ole? I think you'd be better off working together, maybe if more than one person complains to the Police of this guy, there may be a chance that they will take an interest? After all, he may be doing this all over the country, and on a bigger scale! Atleast now we are all aware of this person, and hopefully we have heard the last of him. Having said that, he is obviosly thicker than the offspring of a TV weather girl and the village idiot, I mean, what kinda fool gives out his mobile number! I mean, if that number got into the hands of say, someone who could clone numbers... I hope that you both get your money back, or at least some satisfaction... James

	If any of you guys remember my accidend in December, wrote off my 525e, loads of you offered your support and kind thoughts and thanks again. This guy kept contacting me and emailing being very attentive, wanted stuff for nothing and me to delivery. (Insult to injury and all that) One to definitely watch for, but report to the police and let them sort him out, no point in going down the Tony Martin route.

	Hate to admit it but I too have been skinned by the same guy. I sent money for a small part and when nothing turned up I emailed him off forum, left voicemail and posted on bmwland asking him to contact me. He eventually (after two weeks) answered his phone and said he had been on holiday. I explained that the bit I ordered from him was no longer needed and asked him to send a seal I needed for my car. He said no problem and to email him my requirement. Nothing has been heard since and to be honest I have given up on him - so I endorse PHH-525isports comments and wish him luck. Incidentally, I have ordered many parts, sold many parts over the years and this is the first rip off guy I have come across.
