Scammers everywhere

I think it's fair to say that some places are worth avoiding when searching for a car.

Facebook marketplace seems particularly dodgy. Seen several scammers operating, one allegedly selling a ZT in my own town. The MOT check on it showed it was a real basket case. IThe advert got changed to remove number plates and a lot of fiction added to the text.

I've seen a couple where they've stolen other folks pictures and cropped the pictures, trying to pass it off as their own.

Today I spotted a couple of people trying to sell the same car, BMW 3 series estate. Same pics, no attempt to hide reg. One claimed to be on the south coast selling a petrol hybrid, the other in Essex selling a petrol. Reg number is a diesel!!!

Still just biding my time for the right ZT to appear. 🤪
