I know i know - if i have to ask it probably is. There seems to be an abundance of cars on the trader with the photos overlaid with the text 'contact us by email' all over it.

Here is the link, the price seems at least half of what it should be.

Yeah, of course it is. God knows why they go to the trouble of editing the photo to include an email address instead of just leaving it in the text - but when they do it's a sure sign of a scam.

That's odd. It worked fine for me.

If you have to ask the question then it's always a scam.

OK, couple of things. I knew it was a scam from the beginning, perhaps the addition of a smiley in the title would have been more apt.

I'm the first to berate these threads, so carry on.
