Default CAR STOLEN - BY EBAY?!

MY BUGEYE...HAS BEEN STOLEN... BY EBAY!!

(Although its still in the garage...?!) Although it is for sale...on piston heads..some cheeky T&AT has posted my pride and joy under their name!!!

SO..anyone that wishes to send fake emails booking viewings or offering to send deposits to give him false hope..please feel free..as the cheeky devil as posted it for only £10k!!!

(mine is advertised in for sale section as 350 BHP JDM STI - LOADS DONE, LOW MILES if you wanted to compare it to the one on ebay...striking resemblane me thinks?!)

thanks
Laura

Isn't that your advert? I meant the fake adverts.

It's so common these days and it's got worse with the ebay classified adverts These scammers string gullible people along and take their money by telling them the car is abroad etc and ebay are reluctant to do a thing about it

It seems like you need to use photoshop and watermark your photos with your phone number across the middle to try and get around this.
