Am I being scammed?

[Pig benis]

Hello folks

Okay this is 'car selling' but wasn't sure where to post my question.

I'll keep this brief -

I have advertised my car, no interest for weeks, yesterday 4 people messaged all wanting to buy it. One guy seemed very interested and we spoke on the phone for 15/20 mins. We agreed a price and the chap sent me a £500 deposit via paypal (friends and family).

The chap has never seen the car, apart from the 15 pics on the advert. He didn't want to even drive the car, or view it. I'm currently waiting on my new V5 to turn up, so the chap can't collect the car yet and is totally fine with that.

I have never bought anything unseen and this has got my 'am I being scammed' spidey sense tingling.

Am I overthinking this?

Thanks all
PB

Cool, thanks folks

Yeah definitely won't accept payment via PayPal, but for a desposit I was happy with that. Full payment will only be done via bank transfer, really don't want cash.

Thanks all

Update -

I haven't been scammed. Turns out the buyer was a car dealer and rocked up with a low loader to take the car away.

He was a very nice chap and after googling his garage, he has nothing but 4/5 star reviews. I've actually asked him to look for an e92 M3 for me.

Anyway, we both got a good deal on my car, I got exactly the money I wanted and he paid more than any other garages offered on PX.

All in all, I'm a happy chap

Thanks people for your advice
