We have a car listed on three online 'Sell your stuff for free' sites in the UK. Now.. this reply came from one of them and I'm not sure which.... but it doesn't matter. It's rife throughout selling pages.
(This was after it was online for just a few hours).
We replied it was available... just to see what she'd say as it was an obvious scam. When she was told it was available and asked where she was... I mean this car is not even a runner and she wants her courier to collect it. Her reply was:
She had read none of the email I sent.. so quick to reply to set up the scam.
I haven't got a location from her. However.... on her email address there is a gmail profile picture.
this is a picture of a real disabled lady called Denise DiNoto and not Cathy Shawberry.
The car is declared as a non runner and I think from the reply the scammer has little English. BEWARE though. People may be desperate to sell a car and they can be scammed by her.
I am very interested in the car you have for sale. I need to buy it for my cousin asap, i have read through the advert and i'm totally satisfied with it,sadly i would not be able to come personally to collect due to my hearing loss and me being in wheelchair.
I would appreciate if you email me with more photos (if available) since i'm unable to see it in person.
I have a courier agent that would help me to pick it up at your preferred location after you have received your money and i'll pay you via PayPal today.
Where is the pick up location so that i can inform the courier agent about it now
