Ok, my car is for sale on various free-ads websites and papers.

I got a call today from the office of one of these free-ad's papers saying that there were several people interested in my car. They said that they arrange credit for these people to buy cars from their paper. The guy said that in order for them to pass my contact details onto these perspective buyers that he would need a refundable deposit of £69.99 . This was in order to ensure that their customers were not wasting their time when coming to view the car. He also said that they were all willing to pay the full asking price and that the car would probably sell to the first person who saw it, and that I would then recieve my money back.

This seems fucking dodgey, so I told him where to go.

Anyone know if this is actually legit or had something similar happen to them before? The site that called is called 'Pro-Seller'.

Cheers

 

total waste of money..
nice way for em to get £70 tho .. you pay the money and never see anyone

 

If you read the Mirror newspaper you would have seen about these companies- the Mirror have an on going campain about them as they are con artists at best !!!

My mate (against my advice) paid one of these companies twice (about 140 quid) and didnt have a single car even though "four definite uyers are waiting" - steer well clear and you did the right thing !

 

I know this behaviour from German Dealers. Same things, Want 100 Euro and tell you that there is a buyer who will pay the FULL price, which isn t normal. As everyone tries to get the price down.

I think its just wasted money.

 

Thought so.

Cheers guys
