A man who was left thousands of pounds out of pocket after a scam has warned "if it's too good to be true, it probably is".
A Widnes man, who had been saving up for a year for a new van, thought he was getting a good deal when he turned to Facebook Marketplace. Usually being quite "savvy", he did not think he would end up losing £2,500.
The 26-year-old is now urging others to remain vigilant. After seeing an advert on Facebook Marketplace advertising a "decent priced" vehicle, the man - who did not wish to be named - said he thought it "too good to be true".
