Does anybody on here own OU06 WJO? Possible Scam

Post by Grayham » Mon Feb 02, 2015 3:43 pm

It was for sale on pistonheads recently for £9k but the advert has been removed today.

I inquired about it thinking that the owner had missed a 1 from the asking price but the person claiming to be selling it stated that it was indeed the correct price, and is trying to sell it through some eBay scheme or other which is clearly a scam to get someone to send them £9k.

I've have just been sent an image of a fake V5.

I just thought the genuine owner should be aware that their car may be involved in some kind of scam.

Could be worth reporting to the federals, and to the DVLA.

Depends how Samaritan you're feeling ;-)

Also discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=113597&p=719144#p719144. But seems the original ad has been replaced, or put back to how it was before the 'hacking'.
