Scammer alert?

[Sqwidge]

As most of you know I have been hunting for a trade for a T500 and aswell as advertising on here I also put a swap ad on BMFA.
I just received this email:

Hi Nick,

My name is Ossie and I'm 12. I have an E-Sky Belt CP and as you can
guess, being based in China, E-Sky doesn't have amazing product
support or instructions. If you are quite experienced, do you think we
could have a swap on the Blade 400 for my BCP? I would like the fact
that the product support is in england etc. The Belt CP has one slight
problem though, when the motor spins it spins the main gears but not
the shaft. A little tightening may help but i'm a bit too scared too
try anything. It has an upgraded ESC and the normal tranny and rx were
taken out because they made it harder to fly so you can use your own
tx. It has been sitting in my garage for a while now as i'm too scared
to fly it with the fact that the instructions are like gobbledygook to
me and UK product support would be a benefit if i did get the blade
400. the belt cp comes with two canopies, one sprayed by me and one
normal in case you don't like the sprayed one (made by me)

2x batteries one that would be good for setting up/hovering and one
that would be suited for forward flight as it has only a few cycles.
plenty of spares, gyro, servos, motor and ESC are all included. Also
has a good quality case. This may sound dodgy, but if you have it, it
will be 3rd hand. fear not as it has NEVER been crashed and works
perfectly (apart from what I mentioned earlier). If it turns out you
do need spare parts if you get it (only related to the shaft) i would
be happy to pay for it.
I would be extremely happy if we could swap because i would love to
continue with helis with confidence.

Ossie

(p.s. balancing charger also supplied and battery tester. This is all
worth over the £160 you ask for the Blade and i ask you to think
about this as you would get a heli and this little boy confidence to
fly

Bless him if legit but somehow I think not, isn't Esky chinese? all the parts seem to come from there.
I have also decided to keep both Blades after having bought an rx for the second one today, its better to advance in what you like doing before getting an expensive heli and destroying it.

Hi Nick,

I'm Ossie and I'm now 14, the Belt CP has been long gone now and is having a more productive time sitting in my bin than it ever had when flying. I can assure you that I'm not a scammer and that if you would so like to you can check that I am with the BMFA - Membership no. 157799. May I ask that you may delete this post though, as it just gives every person viewing a look at my email and IP address, 2 things that as you can probably guess would not be very good to have on public display.

Regards,

Ossie

Well 2 years down the line, atleast you set your record straight!

lol, welcome buddy!

P.S. really freaky - how on earth did you manage to find that post lol (strange things happen at good places!)

Welcome Ossie, nice request and again fair I think. Go to the new members section and write a little intro.

[Ossie]

Well as to how I found it: you see I have been in Edinburgh for a bit for the festival and seeing as opportunities to go and check my mail are few and far between I read an article online that it you Google search your email then you can log in or summin like that. Anyway, complete load of bull but I scrolled down out of interest and found this. Anyways, I'll post my intro in soon.
