Short version
03/11/2023
I did all the checks, bought a car then found out it was a stolen vehicle with different identity on it, aka a cloned vehicle.
I have been in touch with:
- Police Action Fraud – 0300 123 2040
- Local Police – Call 101
- Monzo, my bank (14/11/23 “It’s in the queue to be dealt with”)
- CashPlus, scammer’s bank
- Financial Conduct Authority
- Payment Systems Regulator
- Citizen’s Advice
- Which?
- Victim Support
- My insurance company
- Total Car Check (their guarantee doesn’t cover cloned cars)
- AutoTrader
- My local dealership
- Vehicle Safe Trading Advisory Group
Long version
This will come when the police investigation has finished.
