Auto Salvage Sites | Auto Salvage Uk

Fraudsters posting car adverts on 247 Salvage have come up with a new way to scam money off unsuspecting bargain hunters. They list top of the range cars for ridiculously cheap prices such as this 04 Reg Audi S4 which is being advertised as damaged repaired and the fraudster is asking £2500 for when the cheapest damaged S4 I’ve ever come across was about £7500 and they are still worth about £15000 on the road.

When you enquire about the car the phone number provided doesn’t work so you have to send an email which he then replies to saying he’s abroad and you’ll need to send him a deposit. Once you send the deposit that’s your money gone and you won’t be able to complain as you gave him the money freely. That’s not to say that all cars on the 247 Salvage website are scams this Alfa Romeo GTV  from ‘Minor Salvage’ and other similar companies are kosher.
There are also similar scams on the Auto Trader website where you’ll see people advertising expensive cars for ridiculously cheap prices.

Remember the saying – If it looks too good to be true then it probably is!
