Hi all, just registered here and I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but just wanted to warn people searching for a Vespa importing from Vietnam.

There is this guy who has multiple websites such as imperialscooters.com and empirescooters.com offering Vespas for prices that are just 'too good to be true'.

Luckyly I done my homework and searched for this website and owner and some reviews on the web. It seems that he copies images and reviews from other websites and places these on his website.

Also links on these websites are mostly dead or suspicious.

As i have contacted some other folks that were scammed and Google does not seem to care blocking these websites, this guy keeps advertising with Google ads.

How it works, well, people inquire about a scooter, he responses almost immediately offering exporting a Vespa for a low price. The buyer pays via wire transfer and nothing is being shipped.

I contacted his bank but nothing is done.
I contacted Vietnamese authorities, no response.

So... basically I am on the hunt for this guy posting this message on several forums waring people. I just can't stand honest people being scammed.

Regards, Thomas

Welcome to MV Tommy.

In your haste to save the world from shady bodge merchants you seemed to have ran right past the posting guidelines, which state that whinging (are you from England per chance?) about dealers/vendors is a bad thing to do.

Hi, no i am from The Netherlands, and I intend not to talk bad about any vendor or dealer. This guy does not actually sell vespa's at all, he is just a scammer. If you take a good look at his websites and links, you notice red flags everywhere. Just wanted to warn people.
