Fake offer for car via text ** SCAM**

[WhyVee]

I'm trying to sell my Audi A6 on Pistonheads and Autotader. I received a text this morning from www.ideal-autotrader.com claiming they would buy the car for the full asking price, but asks me to pay £80 as a deposit via paypoint.

Autotrader say that it's a scam, so if anyone has received such a text please ignore it, unless someone knows otherwise ?

Probably scammers taking advantage on a weekend http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

They want to buy your car but you have to pay them a deposit first anyone that falls for that deserves it imho.

TX.

These have been doing the rounds for years now.
