Car dealer receives a call about a used Porsche Cayman retailing for just over £40k. Purchaser doesn't want to leave a deposit, just asks for bank account details to transfer the full balance.
The dealership raises an invoice. The scammer says he owns BB Limited and that's the name of the account that the funds will come from.
Scammer gets dealers name, dob, address daily from on line details, then applies for a bounce back loan in the dealers name for cost of car.
Fortunately for the dealer, they smelled something funny when the purchaser only asked about the condition of the tyres.
Doing the rounds, in case any of you are in the car dealership business.
