I would say scam both low priced, both in f Scotland, both been members for just over 2 weeks bet it’s will deliver while PayPal holds payment, when everything is ok PayPal will release funds, yeah right

Exactly my thoughts. The reg plate checks out on DVLA though.

Yes the reg plates will check out because they are real vans -- just owned by someone else with the picture taken off the internet.

I got into communication with one of these sellers -- they even supplied a very believable (fake) registration certificate etc etc etc

Had the same thing, buying a Harley for my father, based in Scotland, £500/750 deposit required to secure it as so cheap.
Luckily I have friends based all over the country, asked one of them to pop and see to make sure it’s legit and no Bruce’s bonus for guessing the next bit.
Anything too good to be true normally is.

Total scam, I was looking at the one that's still on ebay a couple of weeks back, asked if I could test drive, seller was out of the country but offered to have it delivered if I pay via paypal first. And it was listed as a trade seller prior to this so I called the garage and they had no knowledge of the van or the seller.

I saw these the other day, they were using photos from vans for sale by MWT Specialist Vehicles of Preston (I recognised them because I'd been considering going to look at the Preston vans).
