All who attempt to scam on AT should lose a hand. It's incredible how much scum is out there. |
So may buy a car I found on Autotrader classics. I will be looking at it soon. The Seller has said the same thing, contacted by numerous scammers. What exactly is a scammer? What is the scam they are trying to pull?
He said it is the last time he's going to sell anything. Lol.
