I’m currently looking to sell my car. I put it up on gumtree and within an hour or so I got a message off a man saying he was looking to buy my car. Once I had replied he said he was ready to buy immediately and that it was a “surprise” for his daughter but he wanted to pay through pay pal. I said to him that I would rather do cash/bank transfer but he insisted that he pay me through PayPal. He then goes on to say that he is disabled and that he won’t be able to come look at the car and that he is going to have to “take my honest word” and get a vehicle company to come and collect the car for him to take to his daughters. I’m getting major red flag vibes from it but I’m unsure if I’m just being paranoid or it is genuinely a scam.
