Scammer Alert
« on: March 06, 2026, 06:38:14 PM »
I dealt with this guy when I was restoring my Benelli 750SEI. He desperately needed some parts I had for a race replica he was building at the time. We agreed to a price and I sent them off. After he received them he offered me parts instead of cash and I reluctantly agreed. Parts never arrived. Made excuses for a while and then simply stopped responding. LOTS of others have had the same experience.

He has recently started offering Honda cb750 parts for sale. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS CROOK!

My nature is to trust people just like you John and give everybody the benefit of the doubt. But some people are just sorry and no good just like this POS  >:(

He is in the south of Spain and has been building/ selling Benellis for many years. I am coincidentally going to be close to there this summer (my wife has another International Dragon Boat Festival in France). I may pay him a visit. From what I’ve read, my experience is not unique! 

I’ve seen his ads on some Honda cb750 Facebook Forums. Fortunately his prices are so ridiculously high there may be no takers. Also, where ever he posts it seems his previous customers are the first to post warning!

When you go to see him,stop into a(State?)Police station first and bring all the evidence  ;)

I was thinking more of going “shopping” his parts (bringing along my 6’4” 210 lbs. son) find a few small things I need and then walking out…..
