Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.

THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THIS SCAM IS TO NOT PAY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU HAVE VIEWED AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE YOURSELF

Only an idiot or a scammer would expect a buyer to pay money for a car that he has never seen

NEVER buy a car where the seller has obscured the registration number - he's hiding something (but it doesn't stop me finding where he's stolen the photos from)

Mommy's let them stop up late tonight. Gives me something to do I suppose.

Interestingly the same photos appear in another fraudulent advert on PistonHeads.com for a very different price.

and this is where the scammer has copied the photos from to create fraudulent adverts on Autotrader UK and PistonHeads.com

One of the original photos before the scammer performed a poor editing job on the registration number

and an example of the messed up and hacked photo after the scammer had hidden the registration number.
