Does anyone know how to find out what WordPress template that it? I quite like it.

It's a child theme of Flatsome.

One of the pond scum tried this on me yesterday. 07445 004165.

Is there not any means of having such websites taken down?

I do not blame them.

They have gone to the trouble of writing a post with good intentions of warning people who they do know and the first words of the first reply is somebody laughing at them. Followed by some Jargon that I would not have understood either.

I took it at them laughing at the laziness of the scam website rather than OP.

Just had a Mrs Linda Blow (pops up in my email as 'blow linda') suggesting they are interested in buying my Golf R for their son in Norway whilst they are in the US. Really???

This seems to be a scam going by the grammer:

Hello Friend,

1. I would like to know the current condition of the Vehicles ..
2.Is your Vehicles or you sell it for someone?
3.Total price you're willing to sell, I want the value in USD or GBP
4. I will arrange the shipment company that will take the Vehicles from
Your door step ..
5 Vehicles model name .. and year. ..

I'm waiting to hear from you.

Autochecks.co.uk - same scam still happening. Buyer eventually asks you to do an online report - but this is a fake clone site for legitimate autocheck.co.uk ( by Experian ).

Its designed to capture and make fraudulent use of your credit card details.

My messages were from a mobile number 07445 004165

Be careful, it all felt very legit, until the last message, asking me to pay for a report and send it on.
