[Closed] People wanting to buy your number plate scam

Anyone else had this? Someone rings and offers to buy your number plate. Apparently my girlfriends plate says VIXEN, well it starts with a V and ends in an N, but the similarities end there. I got a call from someone who couldn't speak much English (sorry if that sounds xenophobic) that a wealthy Doctor in London has the initials and was born in the year that is on my plate and is offering £15000 for it if I transfer £500 to the number plate broker to get the process going 🙂

Anyone else had the call and what backstory have you been offered?

DVLA, you can do searches on stuff like this now, plenty of people out there willing to find out who owns the car you drive.

As far as this scam goes, you're an idiot if you transfer any money over to anyone on th epremise of expectant receipt...

Only letting you know like.

Tell him to send you a grand upfront ( for expenses) and you will give him it for £10,000
