Scam??

[Adz The Rat]

About 2k too cheap and saying not to contact the seller through PH, smells like a scam to me......

What do you think?

[Davie_GLA]

Ummmm.

Is it a book? Movie?

[chris333]

I know the seller...he's a top guy. Go for it!

[Adz The Rat]

Balls, I forgot to add the link :bang head:

It's mine! It's all legit really.

BTW what is it again? Is it my iphone 4? or my 3 acres in sunny Marbella?

[CoolHands]

doh too slow

[TheEnd]

If you do go to have a look, see if the lady selling it has big hands.

[NiceCupOfTea]

Wouldn't go near it. Why won't the email work? There is no reason! Too cheap, text in the pictures. What does it mean Mk.3 / Mk.4 in the title? Just trying to cover all bases?

[V8Wagon]

Yup, that'll be a scam. I bet the implausibly named 'Brianna Crasson' has just moved abroad and the car is RHD which is no good for her now she drives on the other side of the road.

Send her the money into a escrow/middle man/holding account nonsense and the car will be delivered to you for you to inspect. Should you not like it you can reject it and your money will be refunded.

My ar*e!

I'll bet a fiver it's a scam listing. Alarm bells are ringing.

[soad]

[Mr Sparkle]

Nice

[V8Wagon]

Make sure you email BriannaCrasson36. You wouldn't want to inadvertently email any of the other 35 Brianna Crasson's would you. What a bogus name!

[Adz The Rat]

I have sent them a trolling email too.

Deffo a scam advert.

[carreauchompeur]

Brianna Crasson, I suspect, is a Nigerian man. Sadly I didn't get to find out as the number is coming up unrecognised... Odd!

[IrrElephant]

Got a response!

Hi,

The car is still available for sale,it is in extremely good condition,100% HPI Clear,full service history.Currently I am on a business trip to Australia and will have to stay here for about 6 months (this is why I am selling the car and I am looking for a fast sale to finance the Australian project ) I left the car in PistonHeads custody and they will handle the sale for me.The V5 log book is already signed on my behalf,the car will come with 2 keys,all service records and previous MOT's. PistonHeads will deliver the car directly to your home address and I will pay all delivery expenses. If you are interested in purchasing the car just contact the PistonHeads department that handles the sale directly at [e-mail] and I am sure they can assist you with any questions you might have regarding the transaction Regards Brianna

They've asked me to look after the finance. If you can leave the money in used notes in a plain holdall by the fire exit at PH towers with a brief note saying where you want the car delivered, I'll sort it out for you.
