This scam or a version of it is as old as the hills, anybody who believes that someone is going to give them the full asking price for there car without even seeing it needs there head examined.

Yes, that's one of the most common scams in existence, used for anything from rent self catering holiday cottages to vans for sale. A person who falls for it these days, is frankly a dim bulb.

If all these scams are as old as the hills - how come they're still working for the scammers ??? :rolleyes:

Well said Capri. There are a lot of innocent people out there and just because we are cynics it doesn't mean that everybody else is.
