It's actually a real person, he seems to be getting OcUK'd at the moment.

I asked if he had anything that was sturdy but quick, and that's easy to set on fire, he closed the chat.

I was just about to call myself Janet and ask about the customer satisfaction guarantee.

Adz · 7 Dec 2010 at 20:07

Whilst you've been having fun, I've been e-mailing their hosting provider. Hopefully they should take it down soon but it's an American provider so don't hold your breath.

It's actually one of the better scam sites I've come across. I'd be surprised if they haven't picked up a few 'customers'.

BigglesPiP · 7 Dec 2010 at 20:08

Question is what if it isnt a scam site ?

What if it is a legit company that really does sell cars for low prices, they could very well be previously repossessed vehicles from car finance companies who are just trying to get some money back.

If you're buying a car, you need peace of mind. The website interface and design gives an opposite feeling, and is completely unprofessional. Scam or not, I would never buy from them.

It is a scam though!
