THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THIS SCAM IS TO NOT PAY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU HAVE VIEWED AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE YOURSELF

£985 2014 BMW 5 SERIES 2.5i 523i SE 4dr - Worthing - 72000 miles - Reg R231DKY

Ludicrous price and mileage. The scammer isn't very good with numbers and the ad doesn't mention the registration plates.

Price set to avoid advertising charge.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle

R231DKY - Vehicle Registration Details

This registration was first registered during the period August 1997 to July 1998

It is illegal to put a newer registration on an older car. Therefore the car must be at least nearly 17 years old.

Registration and mileage are NOT arbitrary figures that can be adjusted at will to improve the chances of a sale.
