Most usually the scammers have said that they are located in Spain or are in the army and going to Africa as part of a UN mission as the reason why you can't view their vehicle. This is a new one.

The XXXX XXXXXXX XXXXX XXX is still for sale, , very good condition and all in perfect working order, HPI clear, XXXk miles with FSH, the interior and exterior looks great, no accidents. My wife was recently promoted so we had to move in Norway. We brought the car with us, but my wife received a new car from the company and we don't need a right handed car here. Besides, there are a lot of things which have priority now, so, this car has to go. As you probably noticed, the price is rather low £XXXX because we want to find quickly a buyer.

Thank you,



This is the scammer trying to persuade the victim to pay without seeing the car - because it doesn't exist or, more accurately, isn't owned by the scammer.

If you can't see or inspect the car before paying - DON'T BUY IT.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle
