Scam

[Montreal300]

There's a fellow called Mark Jones on facebook that claims to have Mercedes parts for sale. He says he lives in Manchester A5078 Street UK at Auto Spears Shop. Can one of you confirm that he is legitimate?

Seems a bit of a strange address , in the UK.

The A5078 is a road through Crewe , not Manchester.

The address of the road will have a number, name and postcode , eg - 25 High Street - MA3 4SF.

Plus he sells automatic spears!

The rest of the address is nonsensical.

Thanks for the quick answers. The address setup here is the same with street number and postal code but I didn't know what is normal in the UK. Couldn't find the "automatic spear shop" on Google Maps either.
I need a left hand headlight and he said he had one. He said he could ship it to my home, from the UK, for $150 USD. The damn thing is $2400 new so I knew there was a rat on the loose.

That's the one. But, that one looks pretty rough and our laws here require an orange side marker. Thanks though!

You'll have a job to find something that is not a scam on FB now.
