Potential Scam, Money-laundering while selling car
Discussion
Hi guys and girls,
I'm selling my BMW 640d and a nice chap turned up today to have a look.
All was good until we started talking about deposits and transferring funds.
We settled on £10k, however he started saying some strange things. For example when asked if I would take cash, I said yes but I would like to pay it directly into my bank, the guy said "I wont go in the bank, cant be seen in a bank". He's also adamant that he'll struggle to pay via bank transfer "I'll have to ask a mate to help". He also said do you know what WBAC are offering"? Which I thought was a strange thing to say, also very interested in number of owners, but not interested in driving the car, or seeing the history.
So, what do you think? I guessing this is a straight forward buy with dirty cash and then sell on WBAC to get it clean.
Where would I stand if the car was bought with "dodgy cash"
Thanks
