“Sick to my stomach” — That’s the experience of a Lincoln woman who had a “sea of people” turning up at her home expecting to collect a car, when in fact they were victims of a Facebook scammer.
Later more people turned up, including a woman and her dad who travelled up from London just to collect the car.that they were “looking at us rather expectantly” and when she asked if she could help them, one person said it was about a car.Dawn does not have a car for sale and the address these people had been given was for a property that doesn’t appear to exist.

“They had all paid a deposit – some said £200, one young lady said £300. We think around 10 or 11 families were impacted and after they left we had a drip-feed of more people coming over the weekend, mostly on Saturday between 5pm and 8pm. “It makes me feel sick to my stomach. It was horrible to witness, all these different families turning up with the expectation of picking up a new car.”
