Hi
Trying to sell a car on Autotrader. Amongst the offers from Nigerian princes, offers to pay by paypal etc., I've had an offer from a mob called www.gb-autotrader.com
claim they will pay cash, offer is reasonable
tried ringing the number the text came from, but it won't accept the call
I smell a rat.......... anyone know anything about this?
thanks

If [b]your[/b] happy with our Guaranteed best cash price offer then click on 'Accept Offer'.
Must be a scam 😉
It does look dodgy though tbh. The postal address is just a freepost box. The 'how to find us' box just shows "Tower Hamlets" as the address. The social media links revert back to the 'Contact' page.
And this:
in most cases we will offer near asking price if your cars what we are looking for. If your wondering how we make our profit - its in the finance deal with the new owner.
Doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

thanks - kinda thought of much
bargepole firmly back in cupboard
Detective work aside, something that looks almost-but-not-quite like an established brand is almost certainly a scam.
