Gang,
Below is an email from a guy purporting to have Yak parts in the UK. When I pressed him for photos, he balked. And of course the price on the part requested is WAY off. He is clearly a scammer. Just a heads up to be careful out there....
Happy Flying,
Barry

Indeed, be very careful.
I recently also had someone bidding for my Yak, a certain Mark Simpson (!) from the UK. It looked OK at the beginning, but soon I realized that something was wrong. After some investigation by good friends in the UK, it turned out to be a gang of Nigerian thieves, specializing in the more expensive goods (boats, planes ...).
BR,

Interesting. "Mark Simpson" tried to buy my Legacy...being a broker you get lots of scam attempts, but as you say Jan, Mark was much more sophisticated. It came down to running searches and making him verify information. He even sent back a "signed" purchase contract from his customer (who came up legit in a web search), but in looking at them closely, it was obvious the signatures were fake.
Bottom line is make sure you protect yourself!

Indeed, exactly the same procedure... This "signed" contract was well made,
and looked quite genuine.
