STAY WELL AWAY FROM THIS SCAM
I was recommended about glasgow motors on Facebook randomly after having enquired about a car that seemed to be priced unbelievably cheap but 'apparently' it was sold after just a short few hours, anyways so I clicked on to the site given and it brought me to glasgow motors website. I browsed through a bunch of cars at prices that seemed again far too good to be true but I really liked a Mercedes I saw. I already own several cars and currently drive a 64 plate bmw 335, so I keep abreast with prices of cars so I was feeling a bit sceptical about the website.
I rang the number on their website and it was some weird automated system with no answer or a real call back that it so kindly says so I emailed and finally after a few days I got an answer. The response seemed sophisticated and genuine which is an art for fraud. I asked for a call back to purchase a car and this is what I am told, there is a £100 fee for documentation, a fee for delivery, to be added to the "price" of the car but only after I sign an agreement and send it back and make the payment. I said that it is all fine but I would like to view the vehicle before purchasing can I arrange an appointment as I do not need it delivering I would like to make the payment in person. Now this is when I realise it is bogus and bizarrely wrong to even consider trusting because every other car sales business on our planet lets you view the vehicle you want to purchase physically with your own two eyes as that is the purpose of a car sale. They tell me, sorry but we are an online business only, we do not have the cars but the banks do so we cannot show you anything, we need the agreement back and full payment first. So i thought eh.. only after I pay them a small fortune, not even asking for a deposit but a full payment via the bank, as stated on the phone, so no cash we only take bank transfers. My wife works for a bank so I know very well that no bank in the UK can truly do anything to recover your money when you give permission EVEN if it was an easy fraudulent act such as this.
They were NOT going to magically provide me with a brand new hpi clear suprisingly low mileage Mercedes from some bank at the price of an old fiesta at my door. That is what I would define as daydreaming.
I live a bit too far to go check the address but I would presume it is fake or abandoned.
MOST DEFINITELY A SCAM!!!
NEVER TRUST TO SPEND MORE THAN £50 ON A CAR IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO PHYSICALLY VIEW A CAR PEOPLE 👎👎👎
