Possible More Scam Ads?

I'm not sure if this is just me who has noticed this, but in the classifieds there are a number of top spec cars (M3's, Evo's, Skyline's etc) that seem to be a bit odd. The cars are low milage and really cheap (around £2000 for a 90's M3 with 50,000 miles?) I noticed that they seem to appear in 2's and with the same name on the bottom. The name sounds made up, but then again this could just be me being too sceptical. I don't wish to put any of the names up as per the naming and shaming rules but it looks as if there are 2 cars to each name. So if anyone else has noticed this and feels the same way lets see if there's anything we can do about it. Also, if these are genuine ad's apologies all round.

Thought i'd make people aware.

I'll have a little look, but if you spot anything suspicious then please hit the 'report to administrator' button in the top right,

This flags the advert for our attention and is the quickest way of getting them dealt with.

Another one here -

and saw the same Jag XJR ad crop up again - blue one for 1500 quid.

and there seems to be a section for 'Holden' cars missing - unless there isn't any for sale at the moment ??

I've got rid of those ones, and the Holden section appears to be there, but might of disappeared temporarily if there were not any adverts in there for a short while.

Do you think they were scams then?

I can't say either way, but if in doubt we remove the advert just in case.
