Unbelievably cheap
My 22 year old daughter is hoping to change her car and has been looking for a Ford Fiesta. She has found three on the Internet that seem to be amazing value, with prices between £2,600 and £3,200. All are under 3 years old two 1.6 TDIs and one ST, 20/30k miles with FSH. HPI and insurance damage checks have been undertaken and all are clear. Two of the owners currently live abroad. I know times are hard but these offers seem far too good to be true. Are you aware of any scams/frauds currently being perpetrated?

Oh, yes. What are the instructions for payment for the cars and what are the arrangements for delivery? Where are the cars located? If payment is to be made to someone overseas by Moneygram or by Western Union, then be highly suspicious. There is no way of getting this money back. Do NOT make any such payment until the car has cleared HPI checks and is physically in your possession with all relevant paperwork.
