DazBam350z Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Iv just recently sold my RX-8 and in the space of 4 days i had one guy try and convince me he was a prince working in ireland and was going to pay me over the odds to keep the car for his pick up man and another was trying to tell me his mate was going to pay me £10k and wanted a rebate of £2k to give to his driver that was to collect the car... I mean, do people actually fall for these bizarre stories? Anyone had any funny ones? Quote

Cragus Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Yeah they pay you by a fake bankers draft. All seems well and you rebate them 2 grand and then the bank rip the full amount back out your account and your 2 grand down not to mention missing a car. Quote

I never let a car go without direct bank transfer (seeing the money in my account) or cash in hand. I don't know the buyer from Adam so why would I accept a bank draft?! Quote
