Tony Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks...... Strange how fast life can change! Picking it up afterwards is the real show of character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I placed and advert in PH Sunday night, it was validated and i released to advert to the main board last night only to find a problem...... To make things easy in PH all you need to do is put in the registration number, it then finds all the cars details and saves you time typing them in. What i forgot is the car is registered as the donor car.... A Renault and that's where the ad went in the Renault section..... oh woe. I finally got through to PH admin midday and they moved the ad at around 2pm........ Many emails/ sms's later the car was sold by 4pm. £500 deposit banked at the asking price without even seeing the car in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 £500 was deposited in my account last night. The car is being transported from MK to Chesham this morning and the car is being viewed this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Wow that was ridiculously quick! Are you potentially getting what you paid for it (or perhaps a little more )? Hope it goes well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 A little more than i paid for it but i've spent quite a bit sorting the engine out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMARTLY Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Are you sure it's all above board? Having read about so many scams involving nice cars being sold abroad I'd be a little bit concerned even if the money was in my account - they can always take it out again Hope it was to somebody you know or know of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I moved the money from the payment account to another one, so i should be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Yeah chargeback isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 http://whatconsumer.co.uk/visa-debit-chargeback/ When they initially sent the money yesterday Barclays delayed the transaction to investigate it further. I was informed if everything is well the money would be in today and it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I think you need it for 5 days in your account to be sure of a scam, but if you have transferred it and it shows in the new one and you haven't got enough balance / overdraft in the old one you should be O.K.

Tony Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I transferred the money into my other account without issues and that account has not been shown during this or any other transaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 What I was trying to say they can possibly get money back from the first account they transferred the money into, I'm not going to say it's going to happen and I hope it doesn't but it can happen. Did the people you met seem genuine and show a true interest in the Countach and have a knowledge of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 If it is a scam it doesn't matter where you put it they can get it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
