Just a quick warning

[Reyes]

Most of you are probably aware that scam activity is hitting the roof recently and I've been messaged MANY times in the last 2 days about a few cars that I'm interested in. Both of which said this

Hi,

The car is still available for sale,it is in perfect condition in and out,100% HPI clear with a certificate to confim,full service history.
I just got married and moved with my Italian husband in Milan,Italy.I took the car with me so the car is currently here.
I can`t use it in Italy because it has the wheel on the right side and it would also cost me too much to register it here.
It is still registered in the UK and since I have absolutely no use for it I am looking for a fast sale( this is why the low asking price)
I can ship the car from here directly to your home address and I am also willing to cover all delivery expenses.
I look forward to your reply
Regards Ashley


Probably a repost but just a heads up that didn't see the original post.

Yes this is dead obvious its a scam.. But on another related topic. Has anyone else been winding the scammers up? Egging them on etc..? lol

I'f I had a £1 coin for every time I'd seen that reply I'd be a very rich man,lol.

Think somebody did reply and wound them up, was in general chat I think, can't remember who it was though! funny as hell!

Tell them you're willing to collect it from Italy lol.

Cash on collection....Never get a reply again.

I did it a while ago to some idiot scammer. I can't remember what I wrote, but it wasn't bad.

 

[Jonny1*2]

i think we need some links to the incriminating adverts to wind some scammers up ;P
