Sold a car recently? If so you probably got inundated with calls stating that they had buyers lined up waiting to buy your car if you pay them

When selling my MR2, the only responses to my autotrader ad was from these companies, I thought they hust have been too good to be true, so I told em all to bugger off. Sounds like that was a good move.

TBH if it sounds like it's too good to be true (
