Pistonheads Classifieds: scam central

[Wish]

Added an advert last night to the classified section ….. what a nightmare.
3 different scammers contacted me with the first 20hrs.

Decided to pull the ad, as I can’t waste more time replying to people only for them to ask me to do a car check with their link ?

Such a shame as it use to be a useful site to sell on.

Come on Paitonhead, sort your classified out. Please ….

What exactly could PH do to stop this?

It sucks but if genuine buyers can contact you, so can scammers.

Sadly it’s just part of it, go with your gut
