I do not blame them.
They have gone to the trouble of writing a post with good intentions of warning people who they do know and the first words of the first reply is somebody laughing at them. Followed by some Jargon that I would not have understood either.
I took it at them laughing at the laziness of the scam website rather than OP.

Just had a Mrs Linda Blow (pops up in my email as 'blow linda') suggesting they are interested in buying my Golf R for their son in Norway whilst they are in the US. Really???
This seems to be a scam going by the grammer:

Autochecks.co.uk - same scam still happening. Buyer eventually asks you to do an online report - but this is a fake clone site for legitimate autocheck.co.uk ( by Experian ).
Its designed to capture and make fraudulent use of your credit card details.
My messages were from a mobile number 07445 004165
Be careful, it all felt very legit, until the last message, asking me to pay for a report and send it on.
