Hi All Legal Beagles,
Read about your website and Julian Siddle in the Guardian this weekend.
You perform such good work - heartfelt thanks on behalf of the public for all the good LegalBeagles does.
Thanks, and keep it up.
In the Guardian piece, Julian said 'not to hand over any money – in any form – unless they are physically looking at the car'.
LegalBeagles also tweeted 'Buying a car you found online ? NEVER pay by bank or wire transfer before viewing the vehicle. #scamaware'.
LegalBeagles doesn't seem to be aware of the premier safe method of buying and selling cars - using FCA authorised escrow services.
The Metropolitan Police recommend using FCA authorised escrow services to buy and sell cars.
See http://content.met.police.uk/Article.../1400010734360.
The only way that both a buyer and a seller can be simultaneously fully safe in a car transaction is by using an FCA authorised escrow service.
The buyer does not have to turn up to the vehicle carrying cash or other valuables.
And the seller already knows that the car is paid for in full, irrevocably, before having to show the car to strangers.
One FCA authorised escrow service (I happen to work for it) has successfully handled thousands of car transactions and many millions of pounds of car transactions, helping car buyers and sellers to transact safely in the UK.
And the cost - just £2.99 per party.
The only thing to ensure is that you are working with the true FCA authorised escrow service.
So i) check the FCA online register to make sure the website is genuine, authorised and safe, and ii) only deal with the secure website listed on the FCA register (exactly as it is listed on the register), and no other website (and never emails or phone calls or chat).
If you follow the above two steps, you are safe.
