Hi,

I have the same concern with the same contact details of banking
the car is a 123d M Sport.

Is it genuine or false claiming to send money to that person?

How can you stop other potential buyer's from succumbing to the same illusion of buying a bargain car?
I have reported to autotrader and posted here?
