Hi,
Just wanted to tell people about this Escrow scam using these sites:
/http://www.britainautotrader.co.uk/
http://www.gumtreesafeblog.com/auto-brokers.htm
This is the email address: [email protected]
Here is what happened.
I found a car that I wanted to buy on the Gumtree website. I send them a message through their messaging service. They sent me a text using Skype (which annonymises the number) with a hotmail account. I emailed the hotmail account then started a conversation.
After a while the I indicated that I wanted to buy the car. He said that he would like me to send the money to an Escrow account and then sent the details of the site above. These a obviously completely fake and part of scam.
DON'T SEND THEM ANY MONEY!!
