A guy as rung me up a few times over the past 3 days pretending to be interested in my car. He says he wanted to export the car to cypress so I expected him to give me the usual crap about sending money to his mate who owed him money etc but he said his mate was going to come around and pay cash He then said that because the car was an import he needed to check that he was allowed to import it to cypress and to do this he said he needed a copy of the V5. he asked me to scan a email it to him. a quick google reviles a car cloning scam with people saying that they had done this and found them selves being flooded with parking fines and speeding tickets! Just thought i'd let you all know anyway because its a new one to me. |

Don't trust anyone..... I had a call a couple of weeks ago asking if I wanted to pay a company to sell my 323 for me... I told them politely no and asked for them to remove me from the database and not caontact me ever again.... The next day I had a call at about 9:45pm froma woman from the same company.... I was not best chuffed so I told her to fudge off and put the phone down.... 2 minutes later the phone went again and it was the same woman asking if I would swear at my mother and gave me a lecture on politeness... to which I told her to get a life and go fudge herself and die before putting the phone down.... anyhoo... out of curiosity I did a 1471 expecting a withheld number and instead I got a london 0208 number... with the phone package I get I don't have to pay for any calls to land lines so I phoned her back and kept her talking with a load of crap for 10 minutes asking her personal questions before Sarah made me hang up the phone... So... how many legitimate businesses do you know who call at 9:45pm from a standard landline.... to me it spells SCAMMER! I still have the number at home if anyone wants to do some crank calls let me know.

I had the same thing Rob. A guy called me getting my no from PH saying he had someone who wanted to buy my car but i had to pay £30 first as its a loan company. I said ok, if you sell my car ill gladly give you £30 AFTER i get my money. He said he needed it upfront so i said not interested. He proceeded to swear at me and be very rude!!!! |
