Thank you for the recent reports - all scammers have been blacklisted.

Two enquiries about the car, both unknown car check company enthusiasts. The one this evening said he trusted his car check place because it was recommended by a friend who works for BMW.



His dad is almost undoubtedly bigger than my dad, too.

[phone] / Andrew Chadwick (claimed) - wanting an AutoAnalyst report

Worryingly - the whatsapp exchange was more realistic than the usual crap.

Car up for sale for months. Early on I had six scam calls, then nothing for ages. Then a bloke rings me up! "Can I look at the car?" He comes round, asks if I can drive him in it for a few miles, offers me £200 less than I asked. We settled on £100 less than I asked. He did a transfer then and there and came back an hour later with his lad to pick it up. I didn't even put 'first to see will buy' in the ad, but that's what happened. He didn't ask about a check on the car but did read the MoT history.

The scammers do not behave like car buyers.

[e-mail] - asking for a VHD report vehiclehistorydecode.com - this was obvious from the first reply, and the postcode they gave didn't exist.

[e-mail] - almost certainly will ask the same thing. Also fake post code. Email account seems to be dead already


Manual Jaffery - [e-mail] - truevinreport.com

Adaaslan - [e-mail] - asking for a VHR report. Gave postcode as Heathrow airport.

And yet another one
[e-mail] Asking me to use truevinreport.com

Said I’ll speak to him , he said his phone was broken .

Said I’ll meet him at a mutual location and I’d buy him a coffee….. no thanks I need to see the report.

Told him of other reports like car vertical - said they’re not thorough enough .

The 2nd one within secs of renewing advert

Like anything else I might sell on websites, I'll ignore anything where the supposed interested party can't be bothered to do more than "is it available" type responses. If truly interested, they'd ask more or call.

[e-mail] has been onto me as well

I received one today in Dutch from [e-mail] a few hours after I listed my car.
He is asking to do the checks on truevinreport.com


Zou het mogelijk zijn om het voertuig deze komende zondag te komen bekijken? Als dat voor u uitkomt, laat u mij dan alstublieft weten welke tijd en locatie voor u het beste zijn.

Heeft u daarnaast toevallig een recent inspectierapport van truevinreport.com? Ik zou het erg op prijs stellen om de voertuiggeschiedenis vooraf te kunnen bekijken, zodat mijn reis niet voor niets is en we ons bij de ontmoeting vooral kunnen richten op het afronden van de deal, in plaats van veel tijd te besteden aan de eerste controles.

Tot slot, ervan uitgaande dat alles in orde is, welke betaalmethode heeft uw voorkeur?

[boxy but good]

I have one at the moment.
Selling My car on here and he leapt into action.
Asking me to do a premiumcarfax check on an £1100, 34 year old, multiple previous owner car which is currently SORN !!

His email is [e-mail]

Goes by the name Zach William, which I notice is similar to a previous scammers user name.

[AndrewO]

Credit card grabbing scam I assume.

from [e-mail].

Would it be possible to come see the vehicle this coming Sunday? If that works for you, please let me know a convenient time and location.

Also, do you happen to have a recent inspection report from truevinreport.com? I d really appreciate being able to review the vehicle s history in advance so that my trip isn t wasted and we can focus more on finalizing the deal when we meet, rather than spending too much time on preliminary checks.

Lastly, assuming everything looks good, which payment method do you usually prefer?

Update:
push from user who is now blocked...these websites also linked

....you can check PremiumCarfax.com, or my dealer friend also recommended DriveInspections.com—you can check that as well.

Scamming in alphabetical order. I'll be okay selling the Zenos.

I just got the same from [e-mail]

Maxim,

Would it be possible to come see the vehicle this coming Saturday? If that works for you, please let me know a convenient time and location. Also, do you happen to have a recent inspection report from truevinreport.com? I’d really appreciate being able to review the vehicle’s history in advance so that my trip isn’t wasted and we can focus more on finalizing the deal when we meet, rather than spending too much time on preliminary checks.
