I am asking if anyone has the experince of buying a car where piston heads have been the sellers managers, iam looking to buy one where they ask for the money to be transfered to there account before you view and they deliver it to you on the basis if you dont like it you send it back.
Iam a bit wary at this as i havent heard of this happening to any on e i know

Heres hopeing theres some info on this.

It's a con. Run as fast as you can, then report the attempted fraud to Pistonheads.

Not a lot to apologise for PAul, it's near-on impossible to keep on top of the volume these scammers knock out!

Is this not at the top of every image in PH add's

FYI:
might be an idea to place the text in a red boarder with black text as the current white text looks like its apart of the advert title.

Yeah, it's a scam so in the interests of harmony and instilling confidence in your future purchase you can just send me the money and I'll source you the exact car you're after.





I only accept western union transfer though...





p.s. - that's quality lurking OP!
