Currently have my old man’s XR8 advertised on Carsales for a bit over a week. So far we have had three scammers email us, all claiming they want to buy their dad a nice car as a surprise and wanting to purchase by PayPal, I knew they were scammers so I told them to get F'ed. Also this morning dad was contacted by an auction house wanting to come and have a look, I have heard stories about this in the past so I am quite wary of this, my guess he will give a well below asking price offer.
I kind of annoyed that you spend $60 to advertise on their site yet they can’t do anything to protect you from this type scamming, I feel sorry for people who aren’t aware of this type of activity and are getting done over by these low lives. Is the high level of activity normal? Or has my ad been targeted? Also has anyone else been approached by an auction group? |
