"Hmm... suppose the lesson is never hand full payment in advance to a complete stranger for a car! "

Can't say anymore than that really..

As harsh as this sounds, I can`t beleive that in these times anybody would wire full payment for an expensive car without going to see the car/seller or collect in person.

My thoughts exactly. Blethering idiot transfering money away. Beggars belief - this isn't a wind up is it ?

Old grannies get scammed for a week's pension; if you sign away £30k on a car without having it sat on your driveway you aren't a victim of a scam, you're a victim of a disease that's turned your brains to shit.

No sympathy at all.

"works for shell, car in storage"

How many more signs of a scam do you need?!

medrep · 02-27-2009, 02:06 AM

Someone has recently tried to scam me for me my hifi gear ive got advertised........

You should have read it, alarm bells ringing

I read it out in the voice of George from Fonejacker to my mate and it was hilarious!

That is one of the main reasons I always avoid ebay and buying 2ndhand if I can.

He's learnt the hard way I guess, poor guy.

E902717 · 02-27-2009, 03:13 AM

What a muppet! Dont hand the money over until you are sitting in the car!

he was asking for trouble!

Geoffo · 02-27-2009, 03:13 AM

When I sold my old VW last year I advertised it also on ebay.
Had 4 replies from 4 different African countries & all 4 of them were scams..

Eventually sold it to a local guy..

RCUK · 02-27-2009, 03:26 AM

ed335d · 02-27-2009, 10:05 AM
