For anyone looking at Facebook Marketplace, beware of a (almost certain) scam for a 2016 65-plate L405 with 57k being sold by Zee Sohail.

This is obviously a scam. As this is fraud, it is a crime, so why don't the website and police do something about it ?

Funny that. I was up in Burnley a few months ago and while I was up there I was going to look at an L322 overfinch. Reasonably priced and good miles. The dude I spoke to on the phone said yeah come and have a look and a test drive but need you to pay first due to covid and he would return the money if I didn't want it. That straight away made me back off and told him no way am I paying money to someone I've never met and insisted he was legit and the car was at his house and not the showroom. He said he was the owner of reedley car sales in Burnley and tried and tried to get me to pay, eventually I hung up. I loaded up in Burnley and was heading back down when I just happened to pass a company called reedley car sales, so thought I know let's pop in and have a chat. Funnily enough, they didn't have an overfinch for sale nor did they recognise the number. Turns out the scammer was using their name to scam unsuspecting buyers.

Oh dear - according to Jonathan Sawyer of TBW Logic Logistics, the car has been sold so I can't go and see it...

I am in the middle of the exact same conversation right now but for a different vehicle that I also found on Facebook. I am speaking to Timothy who has also told me about his divorce and has directed me to a logistics company with the same postcode (I haven't managed to get the name of the company just yet).

I kept saying that I was happy to come and collect the car and do a bank transfer when I arrived.

Looking at the background image on the Facebook profile, I believe the photo was taken in Bucharest, Romania on the Herestrau Lake. The two pillars in the skyline look like those that are part of a bridge in Bucharest built a few years ago.

What is wrong with Facebook? This ad is still up despite me reporting it as a scam about 5 times over the past 3-months.
