Concerned About Being Ripped Off Buying a Catering Van - Trailer

Hi David,

I have been reading some of the comments from
people who have been ripped off both through eBay and privately and must admit I'm quite surprised how often it seems to happen.

I thought I had covered myself quite well so rather than passing over a substantial amount of money for someone to buy and convert a van for me.

I have purchased a van myself (which I'm very pleased with) and sourced and bought the larger expensive items myself which I shall take to the man who is doing the conversion.

However, the closer the date comes for the conversion 15/8/11 I am starting to worry that it’s just as easy to sell my equipment if that is what in fact the man wants to do if he were to be a con man.

How can I be sure that this man is kosher, I have been to a workshop that he says is his, also he has what seems to be a very professional website. Is there anything else I could do to protect what will be everything I have (financially) that equates to nearly £15k.

Kind regards

Sonia
