I cant see any 'report' link in the new format, hence my posting here.

Hi

This 'seller' is doing this all the time. I've been looking for a 4x4 on PH today and have come across 6 similar scams from the 'seller' you have identified and a lady opersting a similar scam in the London area. I've reported all the ads I have noticed to the PH admin team. It's such a shame these low lifes are operating on here as they will probably end up ruining an excellent web site. All the cars advertised are very cheap (too good to be true - although the Porsche you have reported takes the prize!), and the seller wants to be contacted directly. I only hope PH involves the police so these clowns can be prosecuted.

All the best

Jeff

Is there a direct 'report ad' feature that I am missing?

If an ad gets reported enough times it gets hidden until admin sort it out.
