Dealer Link from Pistonheads - SCAM

[Gibo993]

Just saw this link on the Pistonheads classifieds and followed it.

WOW check out the prices Aston DB9 2008 for £30K
M6 with 45K for £15K
Porsche 997 for £14k

it goes on.

the fax number relates to another website that was up a couple of weeks ago


Just be aware I'm 99.9% sure its a scam.
Mods could you get the link removed from Pistonheads as someone could fall for

If anyone does sucessfully buy a car let me know, as I would like to give up working in an office.

Mod note: links removed just in case .....

In the last hour links have started popping up all over the internet claiming its a good dealership.
2 hours ago nothing could be found f it was googled, they work quickly
I hope nobody is stupid enough to fall for this

Scam or possibly scamola.

Poor use of English. Sensibly priced cars to give a cloak of credibility. New domain etc...

I think that the entire topic should be removed.

[Gibo993]

Not sure why the topic should be removed , as if you do a search in google now at least you get a link warning of the scam, yes maybe i should not have put the link in but it was a link on the Pistonheads website, I'm sure these are auto links so no one at Pistonhead towers would of known, i was just pointing out it was an obvious scam.

It is a well put together website and all though some quite obvious mistakes, (all the cars photographed in different locations, it would not be too hard for someone to fall for it.

These people are wrecking the small and private seller as people get scared and will only buy from Main dealers.

This is an evolution of the scam email, but a lot more sophisticated
