Unsurprisingly, my friend who visited Zafar Industrial Machinery Ltd's claimed address in Sidcup yesterday afternoon (when their website says they are open) found the place locked up and no sign of any plant machinery such as those Zafar claim to have for sale.
And in yet more bad news, it appears that Zaffy's stupidity, along with all the publicity he has generated for himself is costing him victims (and the chance to steal £20,000+ from one of them). Here is an exchange of emails he had with one victim that provides more evidence that the machines he is "selling" do not exist.

If you want, we can resend an invoice to you for £20,000 and you will pay the VAT yourself.
Let us know if you really are a genuine buyer.
Thank you,

The victim mentioned that having done some research on the company, he was concerned that this is a scam and that Zafar doesn't actually have the machines he is selling. Here is Zaffy's rather surprising reply.

I don't like to think what Zaffy's plan was trying to lure someone to a strange city with a large amount of cash to view a non-existent machine.
The victim said that he wasn't prepared to travel without proof that the machine existed and asked for evidence the machind existed and also asked where it was located.
Surprise, surprise, not 15 minutes after dumb Zaffy offered to sell it for cash, he's sold it to someone else and taken a deposit and is banning the customer from buying anything else from him.

You can consider the 2011 CATERPILLAR 428E as being already sold.
Do not even try to submit another order with us, because it will be automatically declined.
Get your tractor from someone else.
Goodbye .
Dumb old Zaffy then shows his true scammer form with insults and threats to report the customer.
