Example of a possible Scam

Postby Darrenre » Wed Aug 19, 2020 11:58 pm

So I had a mail tonight from ERiC about a car he saw for sale on a French web site that looked familiar.

This is the add
https://www.ooyyo.com/france/c=CDA31D71 ... l/#default

Interesting as that’s my car which is at the docks in Felixstowe pending customs clearance from LA.

Buyer beware or just an out dated add?/

I don't think its out-dated as It clearly says "location France" and the mileage is wrong as they have mis-read the pic.

Perhaps we should get someone from Stainless Wings (French Forum) to give them a ring.

Owning one which is not running...

Hi

I can’t get the link to open?

We have several great contacts high up at Stainless Wings who can take a look at this

Lots showing just when I checked

I think they are offering to supply all the cars in adverts to customers and offering to mend / fix / register as required. They have the wrong mileage and an interesting price against the BHCC car I purchased.
