Under no circumstance and for any reason should you EVER make any payment before viewing and inspecting ANY vehicle you intend to buy.
The scammer has no vehicle and he can't scam you if you insist on viewing the vehicle first.
Paying in to a bank account provides no protection whatsoever. If you've paid a 'money mule' no one will refund your stolen money.
Just a few examples.
