... they were disabled and could not collect themselves so they would arrange a travel agent to collect the car after i have received payment via bank transfer. i agreed and sent them my account number and sort code. they said they had to organize a money gram from a post office to pay the travel agent to collect the car and asked if i could help if they put the required money in my account to do it. i agreed.
so they said they would transfer the money to my account but i kept checking and there was nothing there. but then they told me i should have an email from paypal in my spam folder which i did. it basically says there was a payment pending to go into my account but i would first have to send £300 in a money gram to the travel agent and only then would the payment be released in my account. the buyer said i have to do it with my own money and send verification i had done it. i said no. and unless she would pay for the travellagent i would go no further with her.
she now says she is going to report me as she cannot reverse the payment.
whats going to happen?
i never agreed to send any of my own money from the start
Ok so Im trying to sell my car on gumtree and someone emailed me telling me they want it. they said?

You have to be real careful about those type of things if you sold it and you didn't receive the money don't let your car go anywhere cause if you do you will get taken for 300 dollars cause it would end up you paying for the travel agent with your own money it doesn't sound very good and its a scam the money transfer wouldn't have went to your spam mail folder it would b e in your regular email folder so don't fall for it just tell the person you are onto their scam.
