I replied to a cheap (1/3 less than garage price)Volvo V70 on Autotrader UK. The reply said he had taken the car to Austria but could ship it back ‘to my door’ within the price. When I suggested we met at a London airport so I could see the car he said he ‘was awaiting major surgery and if I paid Amazon FPS it would protect me and ‘give 7 days after delivery to test and approve’ before authorising Amazon to release payment. The payment attachment had the logo etc and reassuring wording. I googled ‘Amazon fps fraud’ and it is an established scam. He’s gone rather quiet since! Lots of people have paid the money first…………!
