THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THIS SCAM IS TO NOT PAY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU HAVE VIEWED AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE YOURSELF
Only an idiot or a scammer would expect a buyer to pay money for a car that he has never seen
NEVER buy a car where the seller has obscured the registration number - he's hiding something (but it doesn't stop me finding where he's stolen the photos from)
Mommy's let them stop up late tonight. Gives me something to do I suppose.

Interestingly the same photos appear in another fraudulent advert on PistonHeads.com for a very different price.

One of the original photos before the scammer performed a poor editing job on the registration number

and an example of the messed up and hacked photo after the scammer had hidden the registration number.

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
