moneybookers.com
POSTED BY: Scouser78 1 year, 8 months agoHas anybody used them at all? I've done a whois and it's coming back inconclusive.
I only ask because somebody in work is buying a car from a private seller and they've ask for the money to go through moneybookers.com. The reason I'm suspicious is because it's a 3 year old Beetle Cabriolet with 14k mileage and he's asking for only £5500. Plus he's now moved to Austria and wants a quick sale, however as I work in the motor trade I know that if he had taken it to a car dealer he'd have got a lot more than the money he's asking for.
The person buying the car reckons that if they put the money through moneybookers they will not release the funds until they are satisfied with the vehicle. I on the other hand think as soon as that money is put through they will never hear from this fella or see this car.
Any advice before they make this payment is appreciated.
Cheers

DON'T BUY IT!!!!!!!
My other half almost got caught out by this scam, she found a car on ebay, listed as a classified ad. The story was almost identical to yours. As you say yourself - they'd get a lot more from a garage so why on earth let it go for this price? I guarantee that your friend will loose all his money and never see the car - please, please, please tell him to avoid it like the plague. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is  Last edited by bod emrys : 24-06-2008 at 15:17. Reason: Added extra info |
