They are part of the Met Police and do investigate and prosecute. I have dealt with them before.

I got this mail also. And they also know which machines you are looking. I got email for JD 6330 and I was looking for them on agriaffaires before. They need to be shot at sight.

I confronted Agriffaires how on earth scammers got my details? They response is pathetic:

Have you lost any money with this mob? If you have your only recourse is through your local police. The ISP/Domain registrar may or may not do anything.

Where abouts are you? I thought you were a bank just kidding!

No I haven`t, I`m pretty aware of scams. I`m in London.

Agriaffaires make you jump through a few hoops before you can register as a seller, more than most other websites of this nature, to be fair.

As I recall I had to send them several proofs of address and business details. It depends on the level of sophistication, and trouble the scammers have gone to to hide their identity (or steal someone else's). There is *some* hope that there is something more substantive than a the vanishing trail of the end of a VPN tunnel.
