heres how this scam works. they offer you a car. say they want to use an agent then you send the money and they disappear. i havent researched this company safepay at all so i could be wrong. but most likely there is no such company. i would definately find an attorney who is willing to help and notify the authorities but i think your out the 2000 pounds for the car. theyre probably long gone by now

get yourself an attorney, and give them a week or more. what kind of car is it? some little seat (since it's from portugal) skoda, peugeot, renault, citroen?

There is a possibility that they haven't contacted you because they are waiting for the cheque to clear, which in most cases can take p to 10 working days.
However, I would recommend that if you haven't heard anything further in a week's time, you need to report it to the police and see if anything can be done to chase the matter up. If there is nothing much that they can do then I would recommend the same as the previous person. Get a Solicitor involed. They may turn around and say that if you didn't sign an agreement with them, there is little they can do but on the other hand, they may able to put the fear of God in them, so to speak, and threaten them with court action if they refuse to deliver the goods.

as long as you did not buy it illegally,you should contact a lawyer right away and tell him ur situation,maybe if the guys know u have a lawyer and they know ull sue their asses,i think theyll give you the car or at least your money back.
p.s lawyers scare poeople that are scammers like that
