Carzone Scam Emails

    I'm trying to sell a car at the moment - Have it up on DoneDeal and Carzone.
    The only responses I've got from Carzone are via email - Someone who initially asks a few normal questions about service history, NCT etc.
    Then one the 2nd or third email they say they are VERY interested in buying my car and want to test drive it in a day or two. But can I please send on a copy of the log book to them prior to the test drive.
    At this point I ask for a name and address and and unsurprisingly the correspondence spots. I'm never going to send on the logbook obviously.. But just wondering if anybody else has experienced the same ?
    I've gotten 3 or 4 of these emails in the last few months, all different random hotmail/gmail addresses

    Carzone is a nuisance for spam emails. Funny that they go on the radio and say that you should use their site if you don't want any scammers on other sites :pac:

    I tried to sell a car on Carzone once and I had the same experience. Never again.

    Thanks, yeah it's been a pretty negative experience with me anyway. I've emailed carzone to see if they have any opinion on it..
    All I need now is for somebody to actually want to buy the car!
