Please be aware this is a scam advert. The photos and description are of my car, which was genuinely for sale on PH a few weeks ago, and is still for sale on ebay at censored

I have reported it to PH - lets see how long it takes them to take the advert down.

I take it you've reported it?

It's too obvious at £5000. Someone will still bite.

Edit. I see you've edited your post to add the fact it's been reported.

I tried to report it last night, I recognised the photos but the scammer had blanked out the no plate.

I just got an error message from Pistonheads after filling in the report form (?)

Not sure why my original post has been censored within minutes of it being posted - if only PH had such an efficient system for preventing scammers from abusing their website in the first place or even vetting adverts so quickly, forum posts warning people of known scams would simply not exist.

Will reappear. I've reported a scam Alfa on three occasions so far.
