To get you to send money for a non-existent car.


I can just about cope with being scammed. But some people get
tricked into turning up at an address with a few thou in their back
pocket in cash. They then get mugged.

Yes. Iv'e heard of someone buying a car online and beinga asked to
meet the seller in a Hotel carpark to view the car and with cash in
hand. He was assaulted and the cash stolen.


Not watched enough films featuring drug deals had he?

Don't take the cash.

Have it round the corner in a mate's pocket.

Once its clear the car exists, and there are no toughs hanging round,
call him.
