I bid online for a car, it stated that reserve was not met, then received email saying congratulations you have won the bid. I went to the bank to do a bank transfer and was advised that I needed to due further due diligence as the transfer was £240k and the reviews showed the company owner was previously involved in fraud on cars. They asked numerous questions which got me doubting. I asked Capital Asset Auctions for an inspection of the car and transfer would be made whilst i was on site, they refused, I then asked for pictures of the car showing Vin number and V5 documents which I was advised that they could not send and would email me HPI, I was advised to be careful especially with the owners back ground. Following further online checks and reviews from others I decided to cancel as this option was available, they agreed to cancel however sent the most aggressive emails and an invoices requested for £48K. They threaten to take me to court. Following advice from my solicitor I decided that i would not pay the invoice and go through the legal route. Reading all the reviews I am so pleased that I chose to cancel. Next day i-bidder blocked my account, yet they should be the ones that should be doing all the due-diligence and Nor expose innocent people who work very hard to earn their money!
