Classified Account Hacked-Fraudulent Advert

[andy024]

Hello all - this is my first post and unfortunately not a happy one.

My classified add account has been hacked and the advert i had altered, my contact details removed and price reduced.

Link to FRAUDULENT ADD:
http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/f...

I have no access to or control over my add now and have been unable to speak with PH through the phone number listed under contact details.

I am posting this as a warning for so nobody contacts the 'seller' for this advert before I can get PH to remove the add/delete the account.

Thanks.

How do we know that this warning is legit. ?

I guess you dont until PH remove it. but it is and I would advise against contacting the claimed seller

Worst "My Car is for sale" thread ever.

OP, will you take £2k?

If not, what is your best offer, for cash?

In all seriousness, if this is a genuine problem, try posting here:

Add now rejected after speaking to PH

This was a serious post (probably worst car for sale post yes) I got caught out by responding to an email which contained not genuine link when really jet lagged. My own stupidity and something which i normally wouldn't have been daft enough to do.

In response to your offer funkyrobot the car add before hacking was up for £5K, when there was loads more photos and much more detailed description. This seems to be well priced when seeing the rest for sale considering low miles ~35k and cond etc.
will be re-listing as genuine add when account reset.
Would take offers around £4.5k

Also - I will add a post on that forum too when get a chance. Cheers

Not £2k then?

Sorry mate - I am only selling as I need to (due to various moneypits on wheels/axle stands), I don't actually want to part with car so defo wont be letting her go for 2k.

Nice try tho
