I have reported a couple of adverts in the classifieds that are clearly scam attempts and explained why so. A couple of days on, they and a few others that are from the same seller are still there. (I asked that all ads from the seller be looked at).

Could someone take a look please

Looks like they've been removed?

No, still there and not the ones suggested above. One is gone, the other six or so are not

There were several ads that Bushi had linked to which were posing as Racing Green, but obviously weren't. These have been removed.
Do you want to post a link to the scam ads you've spotted & we can click on report too?

First two pages of cars are all scams I reckon ( newest with images first ) :

Switch, I have sent you an email. I do feel though that posting links on a public forum is less than ideal when there is a 'report' button to allow users to do it anonymously.

Then press report and send the link to them... I don't think he was forcing you to post it on here.

I have already done that - as soon as I saw the adverts - as per my first post on this thread. No response to my email and the ads are still up.

Edited to add - do you mean report the thread, assume so have done that as well

Clicking on those two links show there are no adverts so I assume they have all been removed

Looks like the ads posted in the thread have all gone, not sure about the ones that mfmman has spotted?
