Getting really fed up with a couple of traders who advertise on PH and who keep sending me standard template emails every time I advertise a car.. Church cars being the worst culprit. Is there a rule against this?

I've moved it to Website Feedback and will make the necessary folks aware.

If it is just the odd rogue Trader you're concerned about; go look for BMW's and Range Rovers that seem very cheap! You'll then get the opportunity to buy a UK car in Spain/Germany/Lithuania/Portugal (delete as appropriate) by giving them your bank details... hehe

Unfortunately you won't be able to jump on a cheapyJet flight to go see the car as they all seem to be at the docks in containers waiting to ship to you as soon as you pay them money...

Unfortunately this kind of activity is endemic to most online classified advertising. That said, we can have a look at specific culprits to see what we can do to stop the activity.

Could someone please send me details through my profile, or report the post to moderators and post there? No N&S here please.

Thanks,

Stuart
