Very similar to others. Called himself Daniel, the red flag was the continual mention of Inpection Yard which thankfully pushed me to check reviews. Absolute SCAM, not interested in buying your car,... See more

WARNING this company seems to use…

WARNING this company seems to use Gumtree ads to pretend to be a buyer as long as you use Inpectionyard for a vehicle report, however, this report (if you get one) only has information you can find yourself, or pay a quarter of the cost for a proper report from a reputable company. Three times they have been in-touch with me under different company names (latest BRITISHMOTORS.UK) and under various personal names. This seems to be every time I re-new my ad, on Gumtree. So, if someone wants to buy your vehicle and it seems to good to be true ie. they will pay asking price no haggling, it's probably these scammers.

Scam...do not use. Had someone saying his wife was interested in my car. Paid £32 for this basic check, then he disappears. It's clearly his own website and hes scamming people with real jobs.

I too got a call for my classic Mercedes. Said his wife had seen the car and wanted to view. He was keen to buy but ask first for an IY report. I told him this is the buyer’s responsibility. I said about car check but he insisted on inspection yard report.
Only to read review it was a scam.
Stay away

Scam site

Scam site. Cold calls for sale adverts, pretends they're going to buy then asks you to do an "IY" report. So the owner is scamming people into doing reports on their own car.

Yes I had a text from "Paul" same as everyone else.
Alarm bells started to ring when asked me to "provide me with the IY check", looks a scam to sell expensive vehicle reports, or harvest personal data.
AVOID!

Shout out to Paul the scammer and his “wife”

I have my car listed on Gumtree when I got a text message from someone showing interest. “Paul” asked me to use the inspection yard site to buy a report. I did a quick google search and found this page. Thank you to everyone that took the time to leave a review!

This is the number that contacted me +44 7465 278251

This is an absolute scam website

This is an absolute scam website. I had a call about my volvo from an agent of this rubbish site. He asked me a few questions about my car and then demanded £32.99 for a so-called “basic report”. To test whether he was genuine, I refused to pay — and he immediately started abusing me and even threatened to hack my bank account. Do not trust this website. It’s a complete scam

INSPECTION YARD scam HPI Check

Yes like the rest of the reviews here INSPECTION YARD is a scam. A guy enquires about your car. He wants you to pay for an inspection report with IY. So of course it is a scam. If someone is interested in buying a car they would arrange their own HPI type check, not rely on the seller.
