Ginger we thought same thing. He was here AGES. Called RAC, waiting for them. At which point I said to FH he was prob trying to lower price. RAC guy said car was fine.
I made him a sandwhich! N tea. Felt bad he came so far.
Never mind. All works out in the end as we still have a car.
I've never heard of this scam either.
FH gets email "I'm out of the country on military service, want the car will PayPal u money n send some one to collect it" obviously a more padded out email. FH tells me n I say not to reply yet and let me look into it. We were out at the time so didn't straight away.
FH replies answering a few questions that have been asked. But no personal details. Nxt day he got more emails of similar background. Which he then deleted.
But how do these ppl make money out of this? Pay pal is secure... It's not like the cheques in the post type thing. Or they take the car n cheque bounces.
