dodgy ads

CERS is definitely in Switzerland, safe and sound and much loved by its new owner.

There are a lot of scam ads around, and there are even some scam helicopter sales organisations as well -- one Spanish client got conned out of 5,000 euros by a company called Alma purporting to be based in Plumpton.

They are currently advertising another non-existant helicopter - a lovely blue Clipper that Patriot sold to Germany last year.

In addition to Veeany's good advice, don't be afraid to do exactly what John Eacott did: contact someone you know is not a fraud and ask them for any background information on the seller or the sales organisation.

I know most, if not all, of the sales organisations in the UK, and I also know a lot of the R44s and R22s which are on the market, so if you want to check the validity of an advert then I'd happily help you out.
