[TerranceBoyce]

THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THIS SCAM IS TO NOT PAY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU HAVE VIEWED AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE YOURSELF

ALSO - DO NOT BOTHER WITH ADVERTS WHERE THE SELLER HAS OBSCURED THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION DETAILS BY PHOTO-HACKING THEM OUT. THIS IS A SIGNATURE FEATURE OF FRAUDULENT ADVERTS BEING POSTED BY ONE PARTICULAR CRIMINAL GANG.
