Scam or not

Love this....but get the impression they may not have registration docs, as looks like they (in some cases) are pictured outside the previous owners house'. I.e. The repo men have taken pics, then dragged the cars away, so no documents, log book maybe missing?.....says they send you the paperwork to "register" the car!, also no log book, service stuff etc......i would guess??

Waht is EXTREAMLY odd, is people seems to be writing positive reviews on random web sites all over the net, literally right now!!! many i have seen have been posted in the last 10 mins, thats extreamly wierd. Almost like someone is doing it to generate positive reviews from web searches....its not making great sense at the moment...

Im seeing positive review after positive review pop up on google, literally before my eyes, people are writing these reviews to generate positive hits on web search without a doubt....looked into web site some more:
The site has been registered in Australia the IP address goes to Malaysia, also has servers in hong kong, and holland. Very odd to me. Also thier stated business address looks like a house on the Isle of Man, and post goes to a P.O. BOX only.
No way would i part with money thier way. Fascinating though, what can/ is being done to generate positive google results.
Get 5/6 peoples money. Business is gone, change its name, start again.

i would say it could well be genuine, there is a place on ebay that sells cars repossessed on behalf of log book loans, they have the log book and key/s as security on the car in the event of default.

I can't belive how stupid some ppl can be.......it's obviously a scam. If it was lagit all the pictures would be in the same place in a yard. I can't belive people actually fall for this sh#t

I do occasional repossessions / hand-backs on behalf of a debt recovery company (mostly Bank of Scotland) & the vast majority of vehicles have to be taken to the nearest British Car Auction site to get the highest possible safe return. We can sometimes buy the vehicles for ourselves but usually so much is owed on it that it's not worth buying & if the client couldn't afford the payments, he's sure to have skimped on servicing!

Not as such but if the vehicle is on "the wanted register" it will come up on the HPI although when the fiance company disposes of the vehicle they no longer have a an interest in the car & in theory the flag would be removed.
Likewise if anybody sees an expensive car that's being stored give me the reg & I'll check it - there's always a finders fee!

why would any 1 hand over cash over the internet for a car they have never seen in real life or know who is selling it is beyond me asking for trouble imho
p.s. if the cars are real an in the uk you would be able to go and veiw them and/or collect
