ukautotrader - buying a second handcar from a stranger

prowla

Just to go back to the essence of the first post - surely most used car deals are buying something from somebody you don't know.

And most people don't need a 3rd party escrow.

(Good spot on the scam, and I good luck to those of you who have been scammed in getting your money back!)

The account I transferred money to was Barclays

20-92 -03 acc no 73314774
is this the same as in your case

Are you sure that's the correct sort code as it does not seem to come up.

Are you aware you can google the sort code to find out which branch of Barclays it is

Sorry

Whichever bank takes the money are surely handling the proceeds of crime so maybe that's the way this should be tackled.They can't keep claiming impartiality and need to improve.

Thanks, it's good to get it correct as hopefully anyone else they try to scam googles the name or company name or bank details which may lead them to this thread before they part with any money

Guys,
The account I have been given were
Name: Miss L Benegui
Sort Code: 20-91-79
Acc No: 73220230
Barclays, WATFORD, LEICESTERSHIRE, LE87 2BB, Phone: (845) 7555555, LEICESTER

I have already reported it to the police and I have a crime ref number. Could you please all share the account details so I can provide this to the police

PS - for everyone who are trying to wish us luck - thanks - but if you have something more important to say please share it otherwise luck is not going to help I'm afraid . At least let's prevent other people. This is an organised crime who are using UK bank accounts and these account holder should be the first suspects.

Why can the police get into the bank accounts then and find answers!!!
