Am I becoming head scam spotter... or are they all just heading for me cos I look gullible??
I'm posting this as a warning to the less cynical...
I was looking at a nice car in Pistonheads ...good pics, nice price, low mileage.
Then I got an email reply from the seller which sent alarm bells ringing..
1- They claimed to be in the forces an travelling a lot..so the car would be "delivered" to me at their cost "on approval"
2- They dropped their price by £2k ...making it so cheap it was an amazing bargain (mmmm)
3- They wanted me to pay money into a "third party" Amazon Money account..to be held until I was satisfied with the car.
Oh...and it was all a rush, cos they needed to sell immediately... was being posted abroad wight he military.
Anyone else seen this one?
