First post? My money is on you being the advertiser and using this as a sly way of getting the links posted on here hoping someone will fall for one of them

It does seem a bit odd how he found them all, all after registering today.

It seems quite a few of them have been taken from ebay listings.

I wondered who fell for these scams, and now we all know.
What is up with people?
They stand out a mile

Arguably,there are still a few more possible reasons to be eliminated before we go all Sherlock on him?

This happens every bank holiday (or maybe happens all the time and we don't see it) I did wonder if a scam advert report should immediately sin bin the ad until a ph employee can see it and delete.

But I guess there's so many appearing it must take a lot if time removing them.

Its a rather odd first post

OP is a scammer if I have read this right.

Here is a scam again:

Hi,

First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. I've almost reached an agreement with a potential buyer. Unfortunately, it looks like there are some problems and he doesn't have all the money to pay, for the moment. It is in extremely good condition,100% HPI Clear, full service history. Currently I am on a business trip to Italy and will have to stay here for about 6 months (this is why I am selling the car for a low price and I am looking for a fast sale to finance the Italian project ). I left the car in Stanton Transport custody ( www.stanton-transport.co.uk ) and they will handle the sale for me. The V5 log book is already signed on my behalf, the car will come with 2 keys, all service records and previous MOT's. Stanton Transport will deliver the car directly to your home address and I will pay all delivery expenses.
If you are interested in purchasing the car just contact Stanton Transport department that handles the sale directly at: [e-mail] and they will assist you with any questions you might have regarding the transaction.
When contacting the Stanton Transport please specify my name ( Sarah Lewis ) and the car make and model.

Thank you,


This site is not true: www.stanton-transport.co.uk this is a con.

You here all week?

[Prolex-UK]

Had the same email in response to an enquiry.

Website says formed in 1994 companies house says April 2014. 1 director

Email said sales of 3.7 million so far in 2015.

Should police be informed ?

[Transiter]

Anyone else see that the director that first set the company up has 3500 companies, all of them transport/haulage ones. I know accountants do sometimes set themselves as directors and registered address at their offices but all the companies are registered to different addresses.

Definitely something fishy.
