I am having some very dodgy looing emails responding to my classified ad for the Evora. Please can you have a look at the and let me have your thoughts.

I have responded to them suggesting the phone me on the number on the ad (phonesafe)

They now have your email address, which is the thing they want.

Good point. What can they do with just my email address? It's not one connected to any financial of personal stuff.

Just for spam purposes presumably. I'll be creating a new email account the next time I sell a car by PH.

I should have looked into setting up another gmail account or similar when I put my car on. So far I've had just the four responses and all spam of one sort or another.

Already got one on the first day of our ad. lifeofdavidmich@gmail.com I entertained it for a bit but am now satisfied it's spam.

Thankfully I'm using the e-mail account I don't mind getting spammed.
