Where is this guy who's conducting the scam located? What authorities would have jurisdiction?

Oddly reminiscent of the movie "Local Hero." Perhaps it's time to trade that white S2 in for a white 930?

I'd contact the guy that wanted to buy the acre from you and tell him that the authorities contacted you because they are investigating his scam. Then you can offer to sell him an eigth or quarter acre (enough to cover his ***) for a rediculous amount of money!

No, no, it's called the 'Glasgow kiss' and is a common form of fighting in Glasgow pubs, or indeed, all obver the world. A new slant on the term headbanger.
My local police say the offence is taking place in England and he will have to prosecuted under English law by the force nearest the perps home. So he can expect a call any day now. His local trading Standards Office will also have an interest.
I quite like the suggestion that I sell him enough to save his *** at a phenomenal price tho.
Thanks for your interest I'll bring you an update when things have progressed a bit further.

Bruce,

Sorry to hear about your headache. I told my fiancee about this, she's always interested in what goes on in the world of Rennlist, and she couldn't believe it. Later that night, she was reading the May 2004 copy of Town & Country magazine and came across an add in the back for Noble Titles, Burkes Peerage in London Enland. It's probably legit, but it just seemed funnly so close to your ordeal. They advertise for aquiring titles in Scotland, Ireland, and France. Curious, let me know if this has anything to do with it, I'm sure that it doesn't, but...

No, David, I think that particular ad is genuine and is not related.
Had a (friendly) email tonight from my con man so I assume he's not had the 'heavy mob' banging on his door yet. I really can't make up my mind what to say to him. Scream & shout about his perfidy or be reasonable and get some money out of him. (A 930 sounds good).
In the meantime I've been in touch with his webhost who is getting a bit worried about their relationship.
I'm going to sleep on it. Your input is very comforting - I appreciate it.
