Suspicious auction

The one looks dodgy to me, " dont contact me through the ebay system, zero rated seller, buy it now , £10.000 car for £3,000?

I've also reported it. Looks like the info and pictures came from here.

I reported it too. Looks like it paid off as it's now been removed.  Well worth reporting these scams as it could have saved some unsuspecting soul  losing a lot of money to a fraudster.
