TJK Auto Transport and Using a 3rd party for buying a car

[m1cks]

Hello all, my first post here but I have visited the forum many times.
I'm looking to change my car and have stumbled across a too good to be true bargain and was wondering if anyone had ever dealt with the company involved.
They are called TJK Auto Transport and from what I can tell they act as a broker for car sales. The seller is in Italy, I can only have the car delivered after payment. If I'm not satisfied I can return the car within 48 hours at my expense for a refund.
It screams scam to me but the email I got from them ended "reccommended by PistonHeads" so ow maybe I'm wondering if maybe the world is not all bad and this could be genuine.

Over to you with any advice if anyone has used this company or brought a car this way.

Stop right there.

There's a report button on the ad, use that and explain the issue with the email. Ta.

It's a scam.

does the car happen to be an audi rn07 jvg

[Memineandyours]

Or is this an XC90 as advertised on e-bay?

[Memineandyours]

Jwhitty I truly hope this is not the case & we are all wearing our scepticals for no reason!! What vehicle have you paid for?

[jwhitty10]

its an xc90 which i got a reply seemed legit the company site all looked good thought i was going to get the deal of the year clearly so did alot of other people

[lowesmoor]

i have also looked into this.
was the car black xc90 on ebay, as the company TJK Auto transport company is not a registered company i have checked this.

[dswdsw]

the audi is on ebay and they say the car is in northfolk but after checking a phone number on the ad that comes up some where in summerset, then I got the im in Italy and some garage in west London has the car ect ect .

[m1cks]

It was for the XC90.
The number in the ad was wrong. Seller got me to e-mail his "sister" who was in Italy and suggested I contact the shipping company as they were acting as brokers for the deal.
Got an email from the brokers which had the recommended by PH on the bottom of it.

Seeing that someone else got the 'I'm in Italy line for a different car is going to make me steer well clear.

Thanks for all your replies.

Sorry but how come people are dumb enough to spend more than 30 seconds looking at these scam adverts? There is no such thing as bargain deals like this, just think the whole process through, if its too good to be true of course its a scam.

Had same experience for this XC90, sister in Italy etc...no answers on phoneline, e-mail or live chat....scam

Have had email ref the volvo & Audi & they are both the same person Alicia Rogers with the same italy story - as we have all deducted A SCAM!! I just wonder how many times they sold those cars over the past few days?? I reported them to eBay in the hope no one else has to be bothered with these Scum Bags. eBay has defiantly removed the Audi but not sure about the Volvo!!

[grimble40]

I sent a very non polite email to TJK. One thing I cannot stand is theft, earn money the decent way. Beware of the cars shown in this link. The A3 is on eBay also. But honestly, you don't pay for a car without seeing it first, or pay on delivery at least!
