or direct you to a fake escrow site who will "look after" your money until you are happy with the car.

New advert has appeared with the yahoo email address embedded. Oddly its only £1003 for a 2012 BMW X5. Identical picture to the 2012 one for £8000 that says contact them by email.

Trade sellers but in different locations.

The phone number on the £1000 ad is wrong for where the car is. It's a Camberley number, but the distance says it's further away.

If you can't see the car and test drive it, it's a scam.

I'd report the suspiciously underpriced car and the phishing email about violating terms to Autotrader.
