    Plus that is not a genuine google review, it is a made up website in WordPress - look at the logo of the address bar of the browser (may not be visible on mobile browser but visible on the computer).

    Plus the web address is an attempt to pass it on as a genuine google reviews (https://google_reviews/purchasing-a-vehicle-safely.co.uk but this actually points to https://googlereviewspurchasingavehiclerfmotor.wordpress.com/2022/12/01/purchasing-a-vehicle-from-rf-motors/). So it looks like the WordPress page was created on 22-Dec-2022 but there are comments going as far back as Mar-2022.

    They are already trying to impersonate google reviews, I wonder what else they will be trying to impersonate.

    I will 100% avoid.
    See my comment above you - the review is dated Dec '22, but it has responses on it apparently dating back to 2010. I presume the creator intended for these to all look like separate reviews (they're worded as such) but they've used a wordpress blog template (check the bottom left corner) - hence why the URL is also indexed as '2022/12/01' as that was when the 'blog post' was created.

    I even get a bar at the top saying "Design a site like this with WordPress.com" which is just hilarious.

    One of the worst attempts at a misrepresenting another site I've ever seen.

    I think walking away from it is the best plan.


    The address is almost certainly that of the accountants and not the dealer, which leaves you wondering where they are. Obviously no-one is storing and selling cars from the 2nd floor of a city centre office block.

    Do they even have any cars? Are they just parked up on a farm or garden somewhere?
