Just put a car on FB Marketplace (yes, yes, I know rolleyes ) and had what appeared to be quite a legitimate looking interested party start messaging me.

Then after a bit he asks me to get a “Quickvins” report for him, supplies the URL…



It’s a fair idea, it was just the way it came up. They’re £29 which is ridiculous. It set alarm bells ringing. A quick google and it seems a common scam.

Presented him with the info and boom! He’s gone. What a tt.





So, as usual, watch yourselves.

So I’m a bit slow on the uptake with these scams sometimes;

Is this someone from the good folks at Quick Vins drumming up business or what ?
It would appear so.
