Just read a sobering piece in Mail On Sunday. Someone bought a £3k vehicle after responding to a scam ad' in Autotrader. The warning given was never send money abroad.
|
Not read the article, but I bet they were responding to add along the lines of '2007 BMW 530d, low miles, £3k'.
Quite simply, how stupid do you have to be!

I don't know the vehicle description, the scam was, the female seller claimed to be a doctor who had moved back to Greece.
|
The Daily Mail story said it was a Zafira. The buyers sent the £3k by some sort of money gram or transfer. I cannot understand why people spend this sort of money on something they haven't even seen.................greed, I suppose, getting something mega-cheap and not thinking ahead.

Britain is not alone, apparently.
This story www.theregister.co.uk/2009/01/30/texas_lawyer_scam.../
from Friday 30 January shows that even clever folk such as Lawyers can be taken in bigtime by scammers.
