Welcome to Scamwarners Lelly.

I regret to say that it is a scam and it is a common scam that is very well known and has caught many victims.

UKASH is a means of buying goods online and is not a method of making payment to a private individual. The scammer will just go online and purchase goods from online shops if you give him/her the code.

I'm going out and can answer more fully when I return.

This short reply is just to make sure you get put on notice quickly.

This is a wicked scam.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle
