Similar happened to a friend a couple of weeks ago.
From what I’ve seen on my Mrs’s facebook about 80%+ of private sellers are anything but.
I think they’re the same cnuts emailing me on a a slightly scruff £999 p/x Astra with full MOT. Horrible idiots wanting to email back & forth all day long and attempt to rape me with stupid offers. I know this sounds uncharitable but some of these greedy twats deserve all they get.
