Default scammer target 350z owner

hallo, i don't normally post. i came across guys targeting 350z owner. they post adds selling 350z turbo kits. i see there is quite a few internationals on this site so posted it anyway. this aps system definitely a scam. http://aberdeen.craigslist.co.uk/pts/886085565.html and a found this one on the same site not confirmed but really suspicious http://london.craigslist.co.uk/pts/922524148.html
prices look to good to be true.they normally claim this don't fit their cars because the kit is for LHD like these you get in the USA and so on. keep away!!!
hopefully this helps someone.

There are scammers on Craiglist, I even encountered the situation also. Don't even think there isn't. Just be smart enough not to get caught up in one and lose your money.

Money is one thing. Just a warning: If 'Amanda' from Toronto tells you she is hot, young and an actual woman...well, he's not.
