There's an ad for an RS5 for £10K on PH. Sounds like a bargain as the cheapest are well over £30k.

Sweet. Get it bought.

There is no way it'll be a scam at that price.

Chances are it a clone ad, they take a photo off a real ad and create a new one to hook you in then scam you, as always if it's too good to be true, it's not true

Pay through Western Union if you can or bank transfer.

Go for it, it looks completely legit to me...

On a serious note, nobody is actually going to fall for that are they? Ignoring the dodgy pictures, even dodgier text, there is the smaller matter of it being £15k cheaper than the next car on there.

I was lucky that the same guy had another one in exact same spec, I've just wired all my money through Western union

Probably have better luck asking for 10 grand of someone on PH for nothing than pretending you can have a nearly new, top of the range Audi.

Even the terminally gullible must be a bit unsure of that, I would suggest pricing it maybe 4 grand less than other similar cars as you need some plausibility to proceedings.

If such scammers were intelligent they would be clever enough to earn a real living rather than scam, fortunately we are protected by their stupidity smile

Nobody else bother to click the "report" link on the ad?

Rather than create a clone advertisement the scammer often just hacks the advertisers account and changes the text and contact details.

Wouldn't it be sensible if advertisers were always sent a "Congratulations! you successfully updated your advertisment" email whenever it was changed, particularly if the price is dropped...
