I see that my R44 G-NIKX is advertised here -
aircraft for sale, Airplane, classifieds, Helicopter Sales, Used airplanes
The price is keen enough to attract interest. The description is incorrect - mine has no Aircon and has done far fewer hours.
The Ad has attracted 3700+ hits so far.
My attention was drawn to it by a dealer in France, who sent me all the Email exchanges between myself(!) and a potential buyer, keen to buy the thing but frustrated by my lack of response to his various questions.
I contacted the site weeks ago to tell them they were listing a fraudulent Ad. Its still there…. I wonder how widespread this sort of thing is?
I know of an American who bought a UK-based helicopter recently and parted with money, only to discover that it was actually in the USA and…er..not for sale.
Full marks to the scammers if they find somebody stupid enough to part with their money
