Need help, they conned me out my car.

Hey guys, im needing your help. I just sold my supra and to my horror, i was given fake bank notes mixed in with real ones. They were good fakes too. So im out of pocket in a big way and cant get hold of these scum bags.

Can people keep an eye out for the car, i know its in England somewhere roughly in the lancs area, but the address i got on the v5 was a fake. Mobile number they used was a throw away and the email iv got is no good.

My cars a 1993 mk4 sup with a damaged vader front bumper, it was missing a rear spat and had supra in white on the sunstrip. Number plate reads L987 XHY. The cars white with vader kit and lexus 18 wheels. If you see the car or know where it is, i would love to know. Cheers

Call the police???

Im sure lots of people will keep an eye out,

Speak to the police and inform the DVLA

I cant beleave you actually did a deal with cash. In this day and age there are so manny other ways of buying and selling cars.

Did a bankers draft not cross your mind?

Will keep my eyes peeld tho in north wales.

Police say its a civil matter. They also say that the bank need to persue it as they have the notes, if i still had them, they could investigate further. Its a total nightmare, because some of the notes were real i cant even report the car stolen.

Sorry to hear this buddy. Cash is best IMO even a bankers draft can be cancelled!, but go to the bank and pay it in before giving them the keys, its the only way!.

My mate lost his car with a fake bankers draft, from now on, im going to take the buyer into the bank and have the cash checked there and then. Trust no one, sorry state of affairs!

They turned up in a silver supra too, so i thought i could trust them being that they were fello owners.

Bank Transfer always worked for me

A bankers draft is near impossible to cancel - its actually the bank that sign the check, not the person. They guarantee the money is there and take it out of the other persons account into the banks holding account.

Ironic really how they charge £10 for you to transfer money into there account, considering it takes 4 days to clear, which gives them 4 days of intrest from YOUR money

That's cr@p mate, hope you get sorted.

I can't believe someone's handing counterfeit notes arround and the police aren't interested. Sounds wrong to me.

Because you still have the V5 (i.e uve not send it off), surely the cars still in your name. So phone the police and report it stolen, is your best option IMO.

Bloody hell man, that's terrible. There are quite a few of us around Lancashire, so there should be a good few pairs of eyes on the lookout around here.

That's crap man.

That's shocking, do you have any photos you can post up?

What percentage were fake? 10%? 90%?

sorry to hear about this. Whats the car look like, can you post pics of it here? And the criminals, what did they look like?

hopefully they will get caught, maybe with the help of one of us here.

Describe the people you sold it to, that would help! What's a Vader kit look like? Post photos of the car. What do you want us to do if we see it, shoot the driver, make a citizens arrest, ask to buy fake notes for handy money, ask to buy the car?

All of the above. We just need to arrange it in the right order:D

I think the vader kit is a copy of the veilside one

I'm in Lancashire mate. Also work all over Lancashire with my colleagues so will keep an eye out.

Photos of the car and a really good description of the offenders would be good.

Not true.

If your bank cashier accepts a fake draft they will not honour it. They're not the guarantee you think they are.

Thats because its a fake draft though. A real draft is a guarantee and cannot be cancelled.
