I'm sorry you've lost your money but why on earth did you agree to send £950 to a complete stranger's bank account for a car you haven't even seen?

We cannot repeat the advice often enough on here

Only pay cash for a vehicle once you have seen it, thoroughly inspected it, and can drive it away.

Ebay is full of such criminals. They jump onto unused accounts and hack them to advertise their 'wares'.
