Hi, you are only robbed when money leaves you so........... When I sold my Z I had quite a few scam emails all sourcing from Autotrader, not Pistonheads. Example below - my reply to 'Barbara' (most probably a big sweaty guy in an internet cafe on the African continent) was that "cheques in any form are not acceptable". I never heard another word. The postcode is for an old peoples home! Here is what 'she' wrote:

Good Morning,
Thanks for your quick response and am also excited to hear from you that the vehicle is still available for sale.And thanks for the information you just gave about the vehicle and am quite delighted to hear from you that the vehicle is still in great conditions
The reason why am purchasing this vehicle is because My self and my partner just need one additional vehicle.Please i want you to email me more pictures aside from the one on web advert page if is still available both the exterior and interior.Since all the details you put on the advert are updated and real,i think there is no need for me to be worrying i think i have found what am looking for.
According to the Features of the vehicle and the Full Description of the vehicle which i saw on the advert page i'm fully satisfied.I want you to accept my offer of £5600 inclusive the advert fees just because I know what the worth of the vehicle ,and also for you to reserve the vehicle for me.The only way you will release the vehicle to any one is when the cash is in your hand, i.e. payments cleared at bank, and withdrawn.
I am located at Llanfairpwll in Anglesey Ll61 5jf.
I will only required your full name and your postal address, so that the bankers draught or the certified Cheque could be posted to you via royal mail.My preffered method of payment is by bankers draft or certified cheque in a (GBP) which may take 3 to 4 working days to Clear.Please note that you will only release the vehicle until you have received confirmation from your bank that the payment has been given value and cleared.I hope to hear from you today in order to proceed further with the payment and shipping arrangements as soon as possible.I look forward to hear back from you today.
Cheers
Barbara
