BUNCH OF FRAUDS. PLEASE AVOID

BUNCH OF FRAUDS, NEVER GO. ALL POSTIVE REVIEWS ARE PAID ONES. I have come across an advertisement on autotrader for a Mini car with the registration number YH15UUF. The car is being sold by Arthur Stanley Limited car dealers in Sheffield for £8480. In the advertisement, they have mentioned that the car can be reserved to ensure that the advertisement is taken down. They have also offered a home delivery option. I contacted Paul from Arthur Stanley and he explained the details of the car. On Thursday, 25th April 2024, he took a deposit of £250 from my account and issued an invoice. He agreed to deliver the car on 26th April 2024, after I paid half of the purchase money. However, after taking the deposit, he informed me that the delivery man had called in sick and that the car would be delivered on Monday. Subsequently, I went through the reviews and noticed some negative feedback about Paul, stating that he cheats people. I sent a WhatsApp message to their out-of-hours number, addressed to Paul, and shared my concerns. I also mentioned that I had faced some issues with another car that I had dealt with legally. Paul replied that they had a 4.7 rating and that they would handle everything professionally. I informed him that I would send the money soon, and he asked me to send the money on Monday to arrange for delivery. However, I couldn't transfer the money on Monday, and when I informed him of the same, he said that he would wait for the first payment before arranging delivery. I sent £4000 from my wife's account and requested him to deliver the car. Suddenly, he stopped responding to my messages, calls, and emails. I decided to cancel the purchase as I suspected that they were not genuine. On 1st May 2024, I sent a message to Paul, informing him that I was cancelling the purchase and requesting a refund of the money. However, he replied that I hadn't paid the money within 48 hours and that I had mentioned managing the issue legally the last time we spoke. He said that I should search for a new car and wished me good luck. I asked him to refund my £4250, and he replied that he was off and that no one in the company could send the money to my account. He also said that he would be back on Friday to transfer the amount. However, I have been trying to contact them through messages and emails since morning, but there has been no response. This situation has put me in a difficult financial position, and I am feeling very depressed about it. All negative reviewers, please report your incidents to Met police action Fraud and insolvency services. Once they received many complaints, we all get legal protection. NEVER EVER LEAVE THESE FRAUDS.
