Car advertised on Gumtree.
Received email from 'Gumtree' suggesting that we use Top Vehicle Brokers to deposit asking price in 3rd party (Barclays) account.
We deposited the money, the car didnt turn up.
Reported it to Barclays, Gumtree & Police to no avail. Barclays & Gumtree were quick to dismiss the situation, which is shocking considering they must have been aware of the several other cases. The police determined bank account was opened with fake ID.
Intending to contact financial ombusman & perhaps press?

Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
