    HELP! At this point ladies and gents, i'd consider buying a lump just to get the rear glass off of it. My european supposed glass source is MIA, and so my project (#44121) has officially hit that dreaded restoration wall. So, if you guys have anything, rust bucket, blown up, wrecked glider of a 365/400/412 with rear glass, please shoot me a PM so that we can talk.

    Thanks a bunch.

    Hey Mike,
    Nope, not at all. I've only received one answer from a guy claiming to have the glass, but he doesn't have a camera to take a picture of it, and he seems to be offended at my request to see the part, or get details from it. He tells me he ships a lot of glass, and that i have nothing to worry about, of course. Additionally, he further inspires confidence by only accepting Moneygrams as form of payment, and hasn't release any of his personal info other than email/name/city/zip. I told him that i didn't want to delay the process and went ahead with the Moneygram, adding further that i gave him a hefty tip to make sure he pushes this transaction along quickly. Now he's requesting i send him the transaction number... i'll see how long i can string this guy along. Normally i would just move along, but i just don't know what justice there is out there for scammers like him.

    Don't worry a bit, I understand that all of the Ferrari parts people in Nigeria, including the glass suppliers, operate that way. It was the same with an unclaimed inheritance that I am waiting to receive. It's just a local quirk or custom! ;-)

    Hi Seb

    There is a site that helps you through the process of publicly nailing scammers like him, but do you need that in your life ? The Net by its very nature is always bound to attract fraudsters, and I guess always will, best just to move along.
    Don't lose faith, you'll find one soon.
    Just remember: Everything turns out okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end.

    best!
