Should I be suspicious of this buyer?
I'm getting an enquiry about a car I have advertised with Carzone. The person enquiring is looking for my Paypal ID. I think it is very suspicious as he did not ring , only contact by email. He claim he is from military & can't contact me any other way.
Our answer:
Hi Declan,
Be very careful. There’s absolutely no reason why someone who’s ‘in the military’ wouldn’t be able to contact you by phone, or come in person to see the car. Don’t hand out your ID to anyone of whom you’re not certain.
