Don't blame the British! These tend to be Nigerian run scams. If you are in The States they appear to come from England. If you are in England they appear to come from Canada and so on...
I helped a guy who had sent money to 'London' for Chevy parts and lost it. In that case they had even set up a fake shipping company page so yes they are getting more sophisticated. The early Ford grapevine works pretty well over here. I would think a quick message to any UK member would soon establish whether a part sale was genuine.
