And how many seconds does it take them to click logout and open a new account.

I have LOTS of yahoo emails addresses. I create them when getting insurance quotes from comparison sites.

Found out yesterday one was full of spam.. Compare the Market were the ONLY company i gave that email address to.

This is a regular occurance and AutoTrader remove them as soon as the have been notified, they usually piggy back their fake ads showing genuine dealer details and then saying contact at this e-mail address.........I myself have reported literally hundreds of these ads.

It's not beyond Autotrader to deal with this. I have also reported loads. They stick out a mile and a quick glance over all new postings by Autotrader is all that is needed. They would rather take the money and let gullible people be ripped off.

I know! They charge £40 odd quid to advertise yet can't vet each advert? Epic fail!
