Hi, Welcome to PH.
For any adverts or any forum posts, there is a [report] button, this can be used to raise matters like this to the Moderators. I have reported this one for you, and it will be checked.

My mate has seen some scams like this before. I think it was a supra he saw at a good price but as he kept looking for a supra he came across it again for a more realistic price, So what the scammers had done was pinched the pictures of the advert and used them on there scam. I think the real ad was on pistonheads and the fake was on flea bay. My mate reported it and as far as he knows nothing was done!! To date he has seen it done 4 or 5 times, So beware and dont get caught out.
