Current Fraud Warnings

Please be aware that our site is currently being targeted by criminals attempting to scam unwary buyers.

PISTONHEADS PHISHING SITE
We are aware of a large number of emails being sent from PistonHeads@atlantic.w-serve.com claiming that your pistonheads advert is about to expire.

These are fake emails and should be deleted. The link in the email points to a fake version of the our log in screen in an attempt to steal your login details and credit card information.

If you have entered your login details on the fake site then please login to your manage my ads section and change your password. If you have also entered your credit card details then you will need to contact your card provider as well.

Fake Escrow Scams
Scammers are posting adverts with extremely low prices and when emailed they claim that they need a quick sale and that the vehicle is not available for viewing.

They have also recently started using the PistonHeads name and logos to give their advert more credibility.

PistonHeads does not operate an approved seller scheme or a purchase protection program. We also do not offer any payment system through the site - all deals must be done directly with the seller.

We strongly recommend against using Money-Gram, Western Union or any other form of wire transfer as this is an extremely unsafe method of sending money to people you do not know.
