Angry Careful of this guy

I just got scammed out of $250.00, his name is Talbot Ericson, or so he claims, lives in london, UK, he emailed me one evening stating he had a kyosho hanomag in mint condition, oh man, just what I wanted. I asked for pix, and how much he wanted for it, he sent pix, but it had a bent front fender, and 2 broken wheels, not mint but I still wanted it. He told me he would sell it to me 169gpb, I asked how much USD, he said $210.00 shipped to me, omg what a deal. Well he wanted me to send him the money by western union, and I would have it in 3 dags. Well I should have known it was to good to be true. I likd an idiot sent the money, he vot the cash, told me it was shipped, sent a fake tracking by some fastflight service, next day I checked the tracking, it worked I thought, it said a package for me awaiting international shipping, I thought good, next day tried again, same thing, emailed him to check, he gets back telling me he was told they needed another $160.00 each to release shipment, slme UK tax, now im mad, the trackong is fake, my money gone, no hanomag, and the pix he sent me is from photobucket that someone else owns, ok I know im stupid for doing tbis, but just wanted you all to be careful of ghis lowlife, learn from my mistakes, im still looking for a ha.omag, lol
