Hi Guys,
I've just withdrawn my ad for the MG after an endless stream of 'businessmen' from all over europe that are after my address details. All from witheld and international numbers.
Just thought you should know, but I don't need the hassle. Going to advertise elsewhere
Thanks for the heads up, Were you using phonesafe or not? I've just withdrawn my ad for the MG after an endless stream of 'businessmen' from all over europe that are after my address details. All from witheld and international numbers.

If you were, could you give me a bit more information so that I can get phonesafe to block them so they can't bug anyone else? What countries they were calling from and what they were saying once you answered?
Wasn't using phonesafe... was a couple from france, and a couple from spain.
After address details, but were going through a brief list of questions about the car. Has it ever been in a crash, is the mileage genuine (f
k knows it's a 40 year old car with little history!) 
Then they wouldn't give me contact details for themselves, but wanted the address of where the car is. Nice house and selection of motors and lorry horsebox in shot on the photo's, which I guess is part of the attraction.

Hmmm... thanks for the info. It does sound dodgy to me and I think you've done the right thing telling them to bugger off!After address details, but were going through a brief list of questions about the car. Has it ever been in a crash, is the mileage genuine (f

If you do decide to re-list, one of the key benefits of phonesafe is that it will block all these calls rather than putting them through to you, so it's worth bearing in mind for future.

I don't really agree.As a buyer:-
I tend to call and obviously leave my number if it goes to an answer phone so minimal cost to me.
If my call is answered I'll ask a few questions to try to get a measure of the seller and then let them know that I'm going to send them an e-mail with a few more detailed questions or if they'd like to give me a number that isn't going to cost me £0.xx per minute I'll ring them back. Never had a problem yet. Only had problems with people selling cars with descriptions Stephen King might think a touch fictional, but you get that anywhere.
As a seller I just don’t like the idea of having my mobile number up for the world to trawl and enter into its auto diallers.
