If you are talking about buying Vette parts from the UK and bringing them back to the US, I wonder how that would be efficient?

Same question... Is there a company name? I know of at least 20 Frank Middleton's in the UK out of a population of 60 odd million...
One of them is a hypnotist, I'm sure he will make you think its a good deal.

PM me details in depth and I'll find out for you. But as you say if he's targeting folks on here he'll already have read this

Default Scam

He call himself Frank Middleton ,Passport # 705540513 ,born 28 Sept 61, I am sure the passport is fake and he altered it , changing his name on it different typing and size .
