These geniuses are always posting ads on AT at obviously low prices for the car on offer. The stupid "please contact me on @yahoo.com" is present every time!

What exactly is the scam and why do so many ads make it through?

Haha I rang the guy up, he was like 'What? Not a clue what you're talking about"

So looks like the scammer put any random number up

Don't they just sell the email addresses by the thousand as a 'sucker list'?

The Email addresses of respondents are then sent phishing Emails, or details of other offers too good to be true?

OT, but in the 5th picture of the ad, it looks so aggressive. Ibis or Brilliant Red really are the best colours for an R8, with Sepang a close 3rd.
