No No No, SCAMMER!!!!

This person is a scammer. I was going to buy an EVO 6 from this person who is apparantley re-locating to Australia and has left the car with the "Pistonheads Sales Department". PH don't have a sales department and take no part in selling vehicles. Reported them and within an hour the advert had gone .

Found the reply I got, it was exactly the same advert with the exact same text, only the email address was for a "Helene Sterne"...

"Hi,

The car is still available for sale,it is in extremely good condition,100% HPI Clear,full service history.Currently I am on a business trip to Australia and will have to stay here for about 6 months (this is why I am selling the car and I am looking for a fast sale to finance the Australian project )
I left the car in PistonHeads custody and they will handle the sale for me.The V5 log book is already signed on my behalf,the car will come with 2 keys,all service records and previous MOT's. PistonHeads will deliver the car directly to your home address and I will pay all delivery expenses.
If you are interested in purchasing the car just contact the PistonHeads department that handles the sale directly at salesdepartment@securepayments-pistonheads.com and I am sure they can assist you with any questions you might have regarding the transaction
Regards
Helene"

Total SCAMMER!!!

Anyone who offers free UK delivery is definately a scammer as they dont know how much fuel costs over here

If you paste the plea not to e mail them quote into Google, it brings up several other adverts rejected byPistonheads with a fraud warning to boot.

Surely there needs to be an area in the forum dedicated to those who want to exploit the stupidity of these scammers - something like this site for the wealthy Nigerian deceased http://www.419baiter.com/
