I've name changed.
I'm trying to work out if this was someone messing around? Someone who changed their mind? Or whether it could be some kind of scam?
A bit of background. So I'm currently selling my car. I've got a new job with a company car so no longer need my previous car but not in a rush to sell particularly.
Tuesday night a lady called to arrange to view my car. Viewing arranged for last night. She called off a blocked number. Asked for my address. I said I'd text it to her, and asked for her number. She gave this and I text her my address.
A little bit later I text to say I'd be home earlier if she's like to come earlier (in the daylight).
No response to either message.
I thought I'd maybe written her number down wrong.
Yesterday 15 mins before the scheduled viewing I had a number of calls from a blocked number. But couldn't hear anything.. maybe there was poor service?
I called the number I had text. To get this message "the phone you have called is switched off"
Also text to say I couldn't hear them, if it was them calling.
45 mins later, I get another call. This time I can hear them. They tell me they are at a pub which is half a mile from my house but can't find my house. I give her directions and tell her to call if she has problems finding me.
No more calls. Never had a response to any of the texts.
I tried calling, had the same message about phone being switched off.
No show.
I'd like your opinions on whether this is some kind of scam? Or someone pissing around?
