jeebowhite Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I know people have to start somewhere, but it does seem a bit weird. If anyone was to purchase, I would strongly suggest using credit cards and or finance to ensure that you have all cover of section 75!

Turvey Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Well I certainly wouldn't use a company that incorrectly uses the word 'your' instead of 'you're' :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 It's annoying because they gave me a great value for my car haha what a nightmare!You have to look at the bad side of that , was it to try and lure you in !

Preee Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 *SCAM* A little more digging , another domain they used was ukautotraders. When an offer seems to good to be true just do a little research and save yourself thousands. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3922917&page=3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 An advanced fee (419) scam is where you pay admin fees to facilitate services that don't exist. Things like foreign lotteries, unknown relatives wills, foreign sales, etc. It's a long running scam that has many variations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/419_scam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkyhughes Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Oh right yeah! I keep getting emails off people who want my car as a present for a family member but want me to ship it over to them! Ha keep don't fall for that surely?? Do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 It's amazing how many people still fall for the scams and they're not all thickies either. There's a lot of variations and different angles, the scam plays on peoples gullibility and greed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
