Galliano Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Had similar trying to sell my aunties car. Had many emails asking me to allow his "agent" to collect the car and deliver it to his cousin for a surprise present while he is away at seas with the RAF.. yes, seas, RAF.. Sea.. Air..

Raz Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 these guys are funny and what they do trying to make monies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Not so much making money, but think about it. Its a present for his mum/cousin twice removed/aunt/dog/nan/distant relative... he gets an agent to collect the car and take it to them, which means to save hassle of one more owner on the books, they request taking the logbook with them, alot of people can be stupid with this and fall for it. Speeding fines, parking tickets, hit and runs... cars still in your name bozo. They then go home, put their feet up and laugh at you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
