Autotrader advert - ami I being scammed?
I have advertised my car for sale on autotrader. All is ok there.
But today I got a text from: gauranteed-offer. Com offering me a cash purchase if I accept within 24 hours.
It's one of those that seems too goo to be true. Yes I know if it seems too good then it has to be and is probably a scam. Anyone have any experience or heard anything about these people.
Many thanks
Simon

If someone is interested in your car they will ring you and arrange a viewing.0

Yes its a scam.
You send them money to arrange the sale, you never hear from them again.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -

Their website does not have a geographical telephone number, and only a freepost address and post code (probably a virtual office). Avoid.0

When I sold my previous car, I included no text,canvassers or emails, some did text but I just ignored the texts even thoug some were probably genuine enquiries, as they then called .....after the car was sold to the 1st viewer.0 -

All scams involve greed.
Someone thinks they have hit the jackpot and performs a lobotomy on themselves.
The usual send us some money via ukash/ paypoint/ western union scam and they will send a bloke with a lorry full of cash and give you not only this but more as well.
But first, you money please sir most kindly.Be happy...;)0
