Car Buying Escarow

    Hi.

    I'm a cautious car buyer and I have seen an Irish plated SUV overseas at a good price. The seller suggested using: SJSTrans.co.uk

    Has anyone heard of the company before? Or had personal experience with them?

    I am not being pressured by the seller to pay now, the car checks out with the sellers provided information & details on Cartell Check. Everything seems above board & legit.

    Invoice received from SJS Trans matches the sellers information. The company is registered in the UK with a legitimate bank account & tax reported history. I haven't been able to contact them by phone yet. (Shipping company that is) The T&C's on the shipping company also favour the buyer.

    Thoughts & advice appreciated.

    Why is an Irish reg car for sale overseas would be one of the first things I'd be satisfying myself the reason for anyway.

    "I haven't been able to contact them by phone yet."

    That might be a hint.

    The minute you hear "escrow" it's 100% a scam.
