Someone please tell me if this guy is serious.

do people even fall for this stuff.

What do you think?

identical wording to the last subversion on here a few weeks ago. It would appear dealers don't use decent passwords.

Good god.

"eve2772" has a lot of cars.

Had some guy try and buy a few things I listed in the classifieds here. Very persistant fellow, until I suggested the cash be deposited in a bank before I turn over the goods.

This offended him very much! Watch out if you're selling camera gear on here.


Can't get away from them, but there are a surprising amount of people who fall for these things.

I've emailed. Lets see what reply I get.

Sorry for late answer. First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. You're lucky ....I had to pause the listing on PistonHeads because I've almost reached an agreement with a local potential buyer. Unfortunately, it looks like there are some problems and he doesn't have all the money to pay, for the moment
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 Italy and will have to stay here for about 6 months (this is why I am selling the car for a low price and I am looking for a fast sale to finance the Italian 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 they will assist you with any questions you might have regarding the transaction
PS When contacting the PistonHeads department please specify my name ( Eve Hicks ) and the car make and model
Here you can see the car again: http://carsales.freeoda.com/porsche.html
Regards
Eve

More and more scammers are claiming the advert host is involved with the sale, fortunately this is enough to make many realise the advert is fraudulent and it also prompts the unsure to call us to confirm the validity of the email.

To avoid any doubt, we don't sell cars nor do we aid/ get involved with any sales transaction.

Our scam warnings include this information and in addition we have added a note across the top of all used car image galleries too: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/advertgalle...
