Default Some rogue trader is using a picture of my car!!!

Not on this website I should add, but some dodgy fucking trader is using one of my photographs to advertise his M5 on Autotrader! (he has lifted my photo either from here, or from pistonheads)

fucking dodgy cunt!

Please all avoid buying the M5 on autotrader at 10,795. It is NOT my car!

What a complete fucking criminal!

Unbelievable!

I have reported him to Autotrader, and will call them tomorrow to confirm what action they have taken!

I cannot believe the cheek!

Now my car (which is nice) may be confused with his litter! Thank fuck there were no number plates on the piccy! Also it was a piccy taken back last year! Bastards bastards bastards

It may have been the artwork department using a library photo. If you've advertised the car with Auto Trader before they sometimes use a photo they have if the one supplied is unusable and the mag needs to be printed. I used to do this for a car mag I worked for but obvoiusly deleted the number plate.

I feel sorry for anyone that goes to look at the car (and travels distance) expecting to see a good car, and ends up seeing whatever shit he has that he cant be arsed to photograph!

But what if they go all that way and find a car EXACTLY the same, or possibly, even better!

I had this with my old MK2 mondeo a while ago, some guy stole my pictures off pistonheads to use them on the same site, what a dumb ass!

I emailed the guy asking nicely for him to remove them and was told basically to f*ck off, at that point i emailed him back with my plans to spam his email and mobile number all over the internet.

I registered his phone number with various text advertising companys, I also requested sales calls at stupid times of the night then proceeded to register his email addy with various gay porn sites

The next day the advert was gone.
