I enquired after a BMW M3 on Pistonheads and got the response below - does this look genuine to you, does Pistonheads do this sort of thing? Sorry i'ts quite long.............


First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. You're lucky ....I had to pause the listing on PistonHeads because I've almost reached an agreement with a local potential buyer. Unfortunately, it looks like there are some problems and he doesn't have all the money to pay, for the moment
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 Italy and will have to stay here for about 6 months (this is why I am selling the car for a low price and I am looking for a fast sale to finance the Italian 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: pistonheads-sales@europe.com and they will assist you with any questions you might have regarding the transaction
PS When contacting the PistonHeads department please specify my name ( Eve Hicks ) and the car make and model
Here you can see the car again: http://phcar.atspace.co.uk/bmw-m3.html

Many thanks

Scam

SCAM..

PH do not handle sales - report it to them ASAP and they'll probably ban the scammer

Scam. 100%

Seems almost certainly to be a scam.

If you've any doubt then contact PH directly (via a number or email on their website, not using the email given) and they'll soon tell you one way or another.

Buying an expensive car via an overseas seller hiding behind a disposable e-mail address...it's hard to see why people think it's a scam.

Sounds legit to me, and as a Nigerian prince I am wise in the ways of the world (and also how to lose weight fast with one weird old trick)

More scammy than the scammiest thing in scamshire.

Lol, thanks - thought so but you never know, and i've already forwarded it to PH with no response yet

Very similar to the SCAM emails I get when trying to sell a car on Autotrader!

Did you really have to ask Steve?

I'd happily undercut their price by £1,000 for a similar service

Do'h Scam

Sent from a mud hut in Africa, using a Mazoomamobile

mmmm.. This is very Scamilicious...

Hey, I hear you have an inside track for those pills that double your penis size overnight, and not all those fake ones you get, the ones that really work too!

I get those emails that promise me a 12" penis. I never reply - why would I want to lose 3"?

Is that a scam too?

Completely Genuine!








(Uncrosses fingers)

pistonheads will not handle the sale so a total SCAM .

PMSL!!

Simply googling the email address provided brings up this ....

LMFAOOO
Come on Proccy!!! Did you try and sell you herbal Viagra and Last longer pills also

Nice looking car mind!

Just string them along, it passes the time quite nicely

Scam, who would ever consider a BMW m3 after a coupe?

I did and it's on my drive

It depends which is likely to spend the least time on the back of an AA truck.......and i doubt anything has spent more time on one then my Plus

Thanks guys............oh, and Mario if i was selling those you'd be my baldest, biggest customer
