Sorry to hear this and well done on posting about it and being so open. The reality is this happens to a lot of us and yeh perhaps we can do more checks our end but unfortunately things can look to be legit and its only when the £££ are handed over we realise the truth. The day you get your 944 will come, and he will get what's coming to him.

Oh Mikey... you shouldn't feel embarrassed and/or stupid - it takes guts to admit that you've been had here, and you're the brave and good guy for be able to do so - especially on such a pubic platform. The other guy, well it rhymes with hunt and blunt and I might get be banned from KZbin if I type it. Kudos to you for sharing the story and helping others to avoid the same traps - chin up, and good luck with the ongoing 944 search !

Thank you mate, he most definitely is a hunt! Appreciate the kind words

Dont feel embarrassed or silly mate. Too much off this goes on. You got the right attitude about it. Be safe. Be vigilant and you will definitely get your 944!

So sorry to hear this Mike! I swear scammers have gotten so hard to detect in the last year or so, and especially on Facebook marketplace... Everything seemed so believable! I would easily have fallen in the same trap

@usuallybrokencars 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, I don't feel so bad as it appears lots of people have fallen too

Such a shame this happened. All you can do is learn from it. Was looking forward to picking up the car with you as well.

This was a really tough watch man and i feel your pain, i could have easily been fooled the same. Mad to see and i hope he was lying about the 111 people but something makes me think its possible that he's not lying. Usually see this kinda scam with nice car parts usually well priced and in a nice location. If it doesnt feel right or if you dont know the person always use paypal, offer to pay fee's if they moan.

Thanks man, it was shit, but we move onwards and upwards! thanks for the support as always!

Sorry to hear your story Mikey - but as you said, hopefully you putting this out there will make others stop and think - and could save them getting scammed too. Karma will get him.

@Classic-Shack 3 ай бұрын

Theres some scum bags about. Feel your pain mate. I was selling my X5 a couple of years ago and a guy came to look and switched my key with another identical key. Luckily i noticed before he was able to come back and steel the car but I still ended about £800 out of pocket due to having to have all the locks and keys changed. We live and learn from these things. Hopefully you didn't loose too much mate.

@headleshydra 3 ай бұрын

Just randomly stumbled across this video. I recognised you immediately from blockbusters right? You had a red rx8 and if I remember correctly a Honda civic type R before or after that. Hope you’re good man!

@headleshydra 3 ай бұрын

Just to add to this - the fact I wouldn’t have seen you or your car in what…15 years? And I was just a customer in blockbuster - the second you said your name at the start of the video confirmed the face I saw in the thumbnail. Just shows what an impression you had on a young 17(ish?) year old petrol head, that after all those years I remember your name from a few throw away conversations whilst renting films and dvds from you!

That sucks mate, I got scammed on a audi s3 8l in nogaro blue for £100. Fake details and even sent me videos around the car and starting it. It happens but ill never send a deposit again… a genuine seller shouldn’t be bothered about a deposit

Speak to your bank, they can sometimes give you the money back then go after the account it went to

@usuallybrokencars 2 ай бұрын

Bank managed to get a really small amount back, but are still going after the rest of it. So annoying.

The guy sounds like a proper mug, I was trying to buy a car for the Mrs recently and I felt like everyone I spoke to on Facebook was trying to scam. It's a really terrible platform for buying cars.
