Text to say what the lowest price of my car is, gave email and asked to email only. Said they were overseas working and wanted to buy car for son who lives in UK.

SCAM -- pay through PayPal and send courier to collect. Sounds okay? NO

The scam that I\'m aware of..

Person A buys an iPhone for £600 pays through PayPal

Person B sells a car and person A pays for it

Scammer collects car

Person A reports item as not being received

Person B has payment retracted and account frozen

Scammer has a car and everyone else gets scammed

Please be careful when receiving payments through Paypal

Hope this helps

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
