I have put my car on ebay, autotrader and pistonheads and have found only ebay to be effective so far, but i got the following email from autotrader.

Obviously i know this is a scam (as i got the exaact same email twice from 2 different people). I assume it is identity theft or something, can i wind this guy up or anything? any one got ideas? Plus someone does answer the mobile, sounds indian

give him your work address and number an c what comes of it??

get him to send the cheque, say it has cleared and he can send the corier for the car, when the currier come, give him a box or two or even ten, of really heavy stuff, he'll be forced to pay for the delivery, then when he gets back in touch, tell him you want the money for the bounced cheque, there s a link to a whole story about this that chewy put up. do it bud, well funny

or just ignore it lol

ignore it.

It's a fake.

Oh look! Here comes Daz....

I am well aware of this, I was asking if there is anything funny i could do about it

Tell him hes a fool for agreeing to buy a car without looking at it, if he wants it, come see it with £4950 CASH, else fook off back to Nigeria and stop wasting you time

Give him a fake address and a premuim rate phone number

I might give him the details of the local police station and ask for MR Plod
