It would be cool to have this as a sticky. Again, thanks for the great response guys.

Absolutely brilliant. And sort of scary.

Hey guys,
I saw a couple of adverts on Gumtree earlier claiming to sell original German Helmets with decals at low prices.
I decided to send a message to owner of the advert and I received an email from the one and only Pawel Nowak!
He went by this email: apollo1939@yahoo.com
Thanks, Glen.

That is one of his known e-mail addresses Glenn.

I think this may also be the infamous Pawel Nowak under one of his many aliases. In this mail he is going by:

Pavel Steptchine
acer188@live.com

Does this name sound familiar? Somehow he got my email and sent me pics. Funny how the format was. I was like.....pause.....bullshit! lol here is what made me laugh and disregard.

Im pretty sure this is him.

Sounds like his MO. Have you tried searching for the pics in google?

[octavian]

Yes i did and nothing came up.

[octavian]

Even if half of these pictures came out as legit items, look at the prices. A meer fraction of what they would really be worth. And too mail me out of the blue, never talked with him.... No thanks. How did he get my mail? That's my question.

[KradSpam]

It does seem strange that the low prices are IN the pic, I can't comment on the originality of these pieces though. I would avoid any unsolicited offer like this though, regardless of anything.
