WARNING! Be alert to current SCAM...
Discussion
Morning all,
Just letting any car sellers out there to be aware of a current SCAM. I was approached yesterday by text (he/she saw my car listing on Pistonheads classified). They said they were very interested in purchasing my car and wanted to come and view the following day, however they did not ask any questions which raised my suspicions considering my car was advertised at 30k+.
The SCAM came shortly afterwards, they said they could not access a 'history' check of my vehicle because according to them the website required the owner to do it instead as they could not because of security measures! They also sent me a link to the site in order to get a report on their behalf!!!
Clearly this was total baloney to anyone who has used sites like HPI, RAC, AA etc to check a vehicles history before purchase. To the unexpected though you could be caught out big time so UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CLICK ON THIS LINK AND ENTER YOUR CREDIT CARD DETAILS!!!
Clearly this SCAMMER is phishing for your credit card details so BE AWARE.
