Am I being scammed by a buyer for my car?

What did Finance 247 say when you phoned them?

I tried to send them an email out of their office hours and it came back with failure notice.. I didn't go to the effort of calling them when they opened. I may next week though, when I've more time after I hand in my dissertation!

I've also sold the car now, a cash sale, actually went to the bank with the buyer too! Can't be too careful hey ;-)

He said he would need a scanned copy of the log book and something to prove its my bank account before payment & a scan copy of either my cheque book or paying in book to prove its my bank account.. Just seems stupid.

I believe this is the point the alarms bells started ringing in my head whilst reading this. You really did dodge a bullet there. A copy of the log book would be all they needed to clone your car. Then scans of your bank details, looks like they wanted a double whammy of con-artistry.
