Hi Forumites,
I'm selling a vehicle on Carsales.com. Today I've had three spam emails asking me to contact them, whoever these people are are on gmail.

The message is written by someone who hasn't got a good command of English diction.

The numbers that have come through on the phone when I've called them have been disconnected numbers.

I've had messages from maxpal123@gmail.com and melissaclara73@gmail.com I'm sure they mean nothing but someone out there may get another one. I deleted the third one I received at 5am this morning

I've reported all this to the Carsales team who appear to only work normal office hours. I'm awaiting a response. So if you are selling anything through this site if someone offers to buy the vehicle sight unseen be aware.

I've also asked for a full refund if I get another spam message, I don't pay good money to advertise and then have to go through this sort of rubbish. I'm sure others could well have been sucked in.

I'm not sure how gmail works and at this time I'm not prepared to find out.
Keep the shiny side up
