There's a lot going on and some a lot more convincing too. On another car forum I've seen a few people recently lose £10k+ sums of money when scammers have setup bogus companies with names the same of genuine ones, and cars have been paid for up front.
It's a shame it goes on but you need to have your guard up always!

The amount of scams out there using this system is so bad, you can see how people get caught out.
One of the latest ones, is people stealing ebay ID's as well, then asking you to email them directly about everything and they just scam you
So bad, people work hard to buy things, wish all the scammers would do one !

To be fair anyone looking at an Austin A40 deserves what they get.

Hi mate. I too saw the ad on Dudley and the Golf looked real good for £3200 which got me exicted as this is the colour and spec I want. Now judging by your comments it looks like a scam. She just sent me an email saying she has now moved to Falmouth and the car is now on Ebay. She can offer Free delivery through Paypal payment. I am now trying to call her bluff by saying I will come there and pay her cash. Damn! I thought this was going to be the one! £3200 with a recent respray, I thought I wont get better for the price

Did you get any reply when calling her bluff? I have just enquired about a Golf GTI in Downham Market. £2800 colour and spec I wanted as well. The ad was a bit old but I thought what the heck, if you don't ask you don't get. I have also had a reply from Estelle Molly Skinner located in Falmouth TR112EW, wanting me to Paypal the money through!

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
