Just to let anyone know that I believe there is a scam going on Gumtree and Ebay and these are the details.
I am just looking for a car and as I live in France with my husband its difficult to find a decent car so we have been looking on ebay and gumtree for a car from the UK. I came across an Audi A4 2008 and thought it had been in an accident because he was only asking 2070.00 for the car...I thought this was a cheap car and maybe had scratches and some mechanical issues..but no he sent me pics and its immaculate. The only problem is hes in Finland and the cars with him. So he said the usual about how the car will be shipped by European Cargo Transport out of Fraserburgh Scotland. Now originally Im from Scotland and I cant find this company anywhere so I looked on their web page and no contact numbers. So I emailed the company and they replied with this number for contacting them :-
Dear Customer, +358 8 2371 2009 Thank You, European Cargo Trasport On Mon, 21 January 2013 10:54:49 -0500 (EST) emackenz1967@yahoo.fr wrote:
I checked this and +35 is Portugal and Gibraltar.
This is the second time this has happened another one is the same but on Ebay and she lives in Greece...
I have tried to give as much info as possible as I do not want anyone falling for this. Luckily I didnt hand over any cash, but someone may do..so please read this first. I am writing to Ebay and Gumtree also...any feedback would be great.
