Caus Ive emailed these before.
youll probably get an email back like
Hi,
The car is still available for sale,it is in perfect condition in and out,100% HPI clear with a certificate to confirm,full service history.
I just got married and moved with my Italian husband in Milan,Italy.I took the car with me so the car is currently here.
I can`t use it in Italy because it has the wheel on the right side and it would also cost me too much to register it here.
It is still registered in the UK and since I have absolutely no use for it I am looking for a fast sale( this is why the low asking price)
I can ship the car from here directly to your home address and I am also willing to cover all delivery expenses.
I look forward to your reply
Regards
The car will be shipped as soon as the funds are in their account. Yeah right.
If Im bored I usually reply from different email addreses with:
1. My mate Gigantor from the local rugby club is having his stag doin Italy so we'll all come along and view it. Whats you mobile number?
2. I'm interested in the car for my friend, Jock McGunbomb from the shooting club who isnt allowed an email address or allowed to travel abroad. Said he'll happily pay for the car once he's been to the job at the Clydesdale on Friday.
3. I'll come and view the car in Italy on Friday. I work for MI5 so I'll probably hitch a lift with the guys from the RAF who will drop me near your location. I'll be the one dropping from the skies with the Union Jack parachute.
Could you tell me where you live?
Thanks,
J Bond.

Ad is now withdrawn.
I emailed Pistonheads a couple of weeks ago telling them they have poor control of their website hence the large number of scam ads on there. They do have a duty to take reasonable steps to protect prospective purchasers from blatant scammers.
They did not reply. How unacceptable.

I wonder if Pistonheads or indeed any sites hand this over to the police and even then if anything is followed up.

I am afraid PistonHeads doesn't organize private viewings.There a lot of timewasters and tyre kickers out there just wanting to test drive not to buy and this is why PH doesn't organize viewings.
This is how the transaction is going to take place :
To verify you are a serious person and genuinely interested in purchasing the car you will first have to send the 3.500.00 pounds by bank to bank wire transfer to a PistonHeads managed account.
As soon as the payment is received and verified PistonHeads will deliver the car to your address and offer you a 24 hrs inspection of the car.
If you will decide you want to keep the car PistonHeads will forward your payment in my bank account and the sale is concluded.If you will reject the car PistoHeads will refund your payment into your bank account and collect the car from you (absolutely no extra charges for you).
During the 24 hrs inspection period you can take the car to a garage or have it RAC/AA inspected,I absolutely welcome any checks you want to perform on the car and documents.
This is a 100% secure system for both buyer and the seller because I will receive your payment only after the car is delivered and inspected by you.
I used to work in the car sales business and I`ve used PH Buyer Protection to complete distance sales all the time,it is very very easy to use and absolutely safe for both buyer and seller.
I can organize the sale anytime this week,all I need is your full name,address and contact phone number(s)
I look forward to your reply and hopefully to a smooth sale

Hi,could someone point out the lies/errors in the reply so that others don't fall for the same scam.
I havn't used Pistonheads to buy or sell.Do they have a secure method of selling or buying for instance?
Cheers
