Great used cars Ltd

Options
Has anyone heard of this company "Great used car Ltd" they claim to be selling repossed car at very reasonable price. The problem is you don't see the car and they send you the payment instructions. Has anyone buy a car from this company that confirm their genuineness. I don't trust the testimonies they put on their website. Please do anyone know anything about this company. Here is their website great-used-cars. Com

  • Why buy a car you don't see? Go somewhere where you do see the car before you buy, simple.

    That domain redirects ... http://whois.domaintools.com/used-cars-great.com ... Created on 2020-03-03

    The details don't inspire confidence ... a reverse image search of the image on the Contact page shows a match with carsontheweb.com. (My scam-dar is tingling). That said the Contact address matches the Companies House details for the company with that name ... https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08766368

    You can’t see what you’re buying and they send you how to pay? Absolutely screams scam - you’ll pay and get nothing. Run away.

    You don't really need to know more by looking at the links above.  The alarm bells are ringing so loud, it is deafening.

    If they are genuine, they'll let you go view the car and pay how you want.
    It's a scam.

    If you look at buying a car being like buying a tin of beans you won't go far wrong.
    With the beans you go to a local shop you know, buy a tin of beans that are in full view on the shelf, pay for them and take them away.
    If you do the same when buying a car, you won't go too far wrong.

    Perhaps the OP is attempting to peddle luncheon meat...
  • This is a scam website.  The scammers are using a former traders registration details to appear legitimate.
    Golden rule 1:  If it loooks too good a deal to be true it's likely a scam.
    Golden rule 2:  If you can't arrange to meet and view the vehicle prior to purchase run a mile - fast!
