Searching for a car for the winter something R32 like and came across this.

or maybe something a little cheaper like this.

That looks a little odd, haven't had a search for scams or maybe i'm just suspicious

Looks Dodgy. Have you clicked the report buttons on the ads so the mods know?

ETA Same phone safe phone number, same location. Must be the same seller.

Click report to admin, if enough people do it, it will remove it from sale til admin get chance to look at it

Nope havent hit the report button yet. I only just signed up on this site. Tend to use it for sweeping the classifieds once in while only.

Seen a few "to good to be true" adverts. All seem to female sellers somehow

It's always worth reporting them, the mods are there for that. It's best to have them look in to it and it turns out to be nothing, instead of some poor sod losing his hard earned savings. Being "Women" can be dodgy aswell, as people tend to trust women more.

Okay managed to find the report button. In all these years I never even noticed it, imagine that.
