Beware counterfeit Eliseparts stuff on fleabay

Hi Guys & Gals
just a quick heads up while we try and sort this "person"
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/TheWarehouseDepot - he has claimed via email that these are EliseParts.com goods he is re-selling I cannot stress strongly enough that this is NOT the case. The prices he is selling kit for is cheaper than they cost us to make.

His/Her feed back is all private and looks like he has got 1p download type stuff to build his rep up, and we all know how quick fleabay is when it comes to sorting out scammers.

To recap if you buy from this guy - it is NOT Eliseparts.com stuff. We will not warranty any of it and you may find copyâ€™s of your cheque being used all over the world.

If you could post this message on other forums your members of and pass the word around we would appreciate it. Gearys on the road today and has no access to the interweb - but he will post his thoughts (when he's calmed down enough for them not to be censored) later

Kev K
Eliseparts.com IT manager

I really wanted the black S/S grill set for N1, mine are knackered and they are not readily available for less than silly money.

However no PayPal would have put me off, as I always use it.

He hasn't actually sold anything at all yet

I bought the verniers just to see what would happen next ... if he actually agrees to my generous terms I will send them to Piper to see if they are genuine or counterfeit ... no prizes for guessing expected outcome, though ...

Cheers,
Robin

I'll cross-post onto NYLOC, he won't last long as word gets around the Lotus community.

Looks like ebay have done their stuff already, the shop has gone.

Still a bit of a wierd thing. If you read the thread at Seloc, you'll find that the address isn't correct, so where do you send you cheques to? The bank account seems to be invalid?

Sounds more like some sort of sick windup.
