[SEL] Lorenz & Benz Engine Register

[Mike Royster]

OMG, I've been scammed by this fellow too!  Years ago he contacted me about 
"helping" him find an air compressor, some kind of family heirloom thing. 
Well, he piled it on thick and being from the south and all helpful and 
trusting, not only did I find him one for next to nothing, then I gave him a 
tank and motor.  I don't mind telling you guys, I suffered to get him all 
that stuff and do you know, I have never seen them again.  I think he sold 
them to a collector or scrap, as no one knows of these items in 7 years!!! 
Oh what a slick con man he is!!!!!

Hi, Cautious in North Carolina,
    I wouldn't be worried about the scam now that we know the FBI are
involved .But I will say that I have stepped up security features around my
Benz and Lorenz engines over the last few days.
    I to was contacted last year about the engines in my owner ship, but the
said person already had the details and was just rechecking  them, he was
also seen at a show in Holland with his pen and notebook taking serial
numbers and also photographs of only Benz and Lorenz engines and also the
FBI team members were with him on this mission.  Very cautious in the U.K

Hi Jerry,  I now think the FBI is involved in the scam as well! They have a
headquarters in Kibworth Harcourt, Leicester and our shady character travels
to this location at least once a year as well as other countries such as
Korea. I think I'm going to post  some wanted ads for Lorenz engines  in
these locations and see what happens.  Maybe we can route them out. In the
meantime I'd have to advise against sending him anymore pictures or serial
numbers, just to be safe!    Cautious in North Carolina.
