Surely nobody with half a brain would send anybody money for a car they have not seen!

No they won't if they've any sense! This scam's been going on on Ebay for years, I'm surprised you haven't seen it.

There's an old saying which EVERYONE should remember. If something looks too good to be true - it usually is!

If in doubt - let someone else buy it!

I'm just glad you got good advice from the bank - I think you should buy them a big bunch of flowers and never hear a bad word said against them again...

BTW, are you originally from Yorkshire?

I honestly cant believe how anyone is ever taken in by these scams, but obviously many do otherwise they wouldn't persist with them

One scam pulled by the Govt; I was told at school, is that during your working life, N.I contributions are deducted from your wages for your pension, that you get when you retire aged 65!
