Dear Graham,
Thank You for your E-Mail.
The vehicle in question has been removed.
The fraudsters use stolen identities and cloned cards to place the adverts which makes it more difficult to detect them. We work very closely with the police and provide them with the advert details from the scams that we remove from our site. It is notoriously difficult to catch the perpetrators because they place the adverts from abroad; this means that the police cannot investigate the matter because it is out of their jurisdiction.
We are doing our upmost to raise awareness with regards to these scams, a safety and security section has been set up on our website which details the various scams that our customers need to be aware of, it also gives excellent buying and selling advice -

In addition to this we have our own security protocols which help us monitor each adverts criteria; we are constantly updating this in an effort to combat the fraudulent sellers.
If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
