Just read about this scam on a motoring forum.

 
Thank you for the heads up.
 
Common scam apparently. I hate selling stuff as you just never know what kind of person will turn up :(
 
In all honesty you do have to question the mentality of some one who agrees to meet with people that he strongly suspects are crooks.

So, please tell me how to differenciate between honest and dishonest people from a phone call? I suppose, if you simply go by accent, then you could be labelled as racist/xenophobic? Years ago, I was flagged down by a bloke on a slip road off the M2 in Kent, his car was on the hard shoulder, he said it was broken down. He was East European and he said that he would give me a couple of gold rings if I could give him a lift to a phone, that is when I noticed another guy sneaking up on the passenger side of the car, so I quickly drove off.
Sometimes you don't know something is happening, until it is happening.

" ...today two guys turned up. From the conversation on the phone they barely spoke English. Gut-feeling having spoken to them and read various messages via eBay was that these guys were up to no good."

His words, not mine.
