I'll give you a clue.

Another of this sellers listing, priced at Ł8100

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autotrail-...item3d05dd456f

A year older similar version and it's Ł38995.

http://motorhomes.autotrader.co.uk/u...trail/cherokee

All the other items are similarly cheap.

When I was looking for a saph I found one that seemed too good to be true at around 5k for low mileage good conditioned car. Thought there was no harm in sending an email.

Was told I had to pay for the car and it would be delivered as it was being sold by a lady who had joined the danish army and was no longer in the country.

The email came from an outlook account under one name yet they had signed the email under a different name. I then got a further email and the name had changed again, they're not even good scammers.

I put their email address into a site which sends 60 spam emails per minute so hopefully got the bastards back a bit!
