Buyer says they cannot collect and will send their own courier, but I need to pay a £25 insurance fee first by bank transfer. Sounds wrong to me.
Yes, that is the classic one. A real buyer never asks the seller to pay anything. Report the message and block them.
Same message word for word came to me last week. Reported it, the account was gone the next day.
Rule of thumb: money only ever flows from buyer to seller. Anything else is a scam.
