Several advertisements evoking a “fuel card” offered by fuel companies allowing you to obtain 200 litres of fuel for 1.95 euros, have appeared on Facebook. According to these posts, the reduction would apply if the user completes a form beforehand. You are then sent to a fake site similar to that of the fuel company, where you must indicate your personal information including your credit card number to pay the 1.95 euro and be able to benefit from the 200 litres of fuel. After which the crooks have plenty of time to use the Internet user’s card. Facebook is supposed to verify the origin of the advertisements but struggles to thwart all the scams. The scammers who developed this fake fuel card are no doubt surfing on the spectacular increase in prices at the pump. Info from: https://time.news/beware-of-fuel-card-scams-relayed-on-facebook/

CHANGES AT MOSS BRISTOL: Moss Europe Ltd decided recently that to continue to support the classic car community the only way forward was to have all of its stock holding held in one location. This decision follows almost all of the classic car parts suppliers and it is a trend seen across many industries worldwide with the growth of mail order and internet sales in recent times. Appreciating this is not ideal for those dedicated customers and friends who normally collect goods but the actions were taken to keep the supply of parts for many years to come. All the sales staff within the Bristol branch are still here, still working hard and still able to advise and support those needing that personal service. The shop is now closed but we can be contacted on 01179 232523 as before. The website improves day by day for those wanting to shop online but please feel free to support our local team by calling up. The Bristol team will continue to enjoy classic MG’s and there will be no escape from seeing us in the future as we will continue to support the community by way of many classic car shows and events into 2025.
