PX SCAM - CLONED MEGANE R26.R

[smallcarsdirect 2]

Hi all,

had a delightful chap named 'Sam' from nr Portsmouth on the phone enquire on our Lexus IS F - £16k.

SHORT STORY - he doesn't own an R26.R - he has a clone.

wants a straight px for his c£19k retail grey Megane R26.R. c160 built from new.

asked him for the reg and he gave me the reg of a grey R26.R that K-Tec supplied last year (found out via pistonheads and by calling David at K-Tec).

customer called back to say the reg was wrong and gave me the new reg (another pistonheads listed car at RS in the Midlands). 

Asked customer for plaque number, he gave '170'. interesting seeing as the plaques only went upto c160.

Just thought I'd post on here in-case someone got excited and took it in PX without doing the normal due diligence - unlikely but thought I'd let you know.

Cheers.

Alex
