Have my ml up for sale, at a decent price, it's pretty damn amazing. Last night I get a call from a dealer asking really in depth questions about the car. Mid sent ace he stops me to tell me he wanted to see who the scammer was. I was confused but long story short some foreign person has duplicated my ad, pictures and private plate even and put it up for 4999.... Mine is 13600.
So o find the ad and ring him pretending to be a buyer in order to get an address. He tells me he's owned the car for 4 years, even a story behind the registration and that il have to be there (300 miles away from where my car actually is) to a council estate in high rise flats (googled it) with 5000 cash before 9 am as there is someone else doing the same, has to be cash, no bank transfer. But wouldn't give a house number, just ring when your outside. The exact same story he gave the dealer who rang me.
I then pulled him, told him the car was mine and he sh*t himself and hung up.
I contacted his local police station and they helped a bit but they wouldn't accept that anyone was going to get mugged. I cannot think of any other reason for pretending to own a car, making people drive to an estate with 5000 cash first thing in the morning with no address to then say April fools or something. Someone / people will get hurt, and the only comeback they will have is my REAL advert everywhere on the Internet to go on..... It's not as if he has a really bad ml280 that he's just using my pics as you cannot buy an ml280 for 4999 pounds even if it had no engine, wheels or bodywork, and my plate comes with the car apparently
Rant over, I'm just fuming, I suppose it's a kind of positive that he chose my car, it must look nice.
