No phone number, and no user name usually equals a scam. There are hundreds in the classifieds lately, Pistonheads need to do a better job of screening these B@stards out.

I can't believe anyone would fall for it though?

[fatwomble]

it's closer to the correct price than some though, exiges for 8K are totally unbelievable, this ad could just get those looking for a bargain hooked.

scumbag

Shhhsssshhhh guys ! I'm trying to convince my brother 111s values have sunk of late. I did tell him 7.5k max for his example. totally genuine ad IMHO ! Maybe...

The one above is obviously a scam but I have just paid £8k for a 60,000 mile 111s in VGC with a few choice mods so there are some bargains out there at this time of year.

all the JJ hunt adverts are paid for scams pretending to be traders.

there is a RS4 thread in general gassing about it all with official replies from PH.

[TonyHetherington]

Yup, as DG said - it's surprised PH has this one. Up until now the scams have hit PH because it's afree to advertise.

But for someone to actually PAY to advertise a scam is a new one....! All deleted an PH are as we speak putting in measures to protect the trader side of things as well.
