There currently is a Johnny Mnemonic pinball being advertised on several sites apparently owned by a guy called Wiloughby. I am 100% certain that this person is a Scammer and Thief.
I will explain..... I answered the AD on Gumtree advertising this machine for £1700. The seller claims to be in Penzance Cornwall, (150 miles from me). I contacted his asking if it was still available and he said yes. I told him I was very interested and would buy it on the spot if it was as described. I asked to see it and after a noticable delay he agreed but could only do the coming Weekend 26th / 27th Dec. I must admit to thinking it a bit odd but called his bluff and agreed to either day. I asked for an address and got back the address Menwidden Cottages, Ludgvan, Penzance. TR20 8BN. At this point he asked for £500 by Bank Transfer, he did not take PayPal, to secure it. Now getting really suspicious, I did a quick Street View and Google Earth, nothing but fields. I asked him to confirm the address and also asked for some pictures of the inside of the machine and playfield close-ups. 3 days Later still no reply. total silence. After a little bit of help from a friend, I obtained a phone number of a guy called Stuart who lives in No 3 Menwidden Cottages. Needless to say he knows nothing about this guy and he has lived there for 20+ years. I have reported this whole affair to my local Police and also reported him to Facbook & Gumtree. I understand the AD was also on eBay but seems to have gone. Of course it is up to you guys but DO NOT SEND THIS CROOK ANY MONEY IT IS A SCAM!
