    Hiding the plate is OK but when a buyer asks do you tell them or risk putting a buyer off?

    The fake buyer could ask and then simply photoshop the plate on.

    Nobody sued that blogger yet? Some rather silly comments.

    I would tell any interested person what the number was - the number itself is not a secret, but having it in a photo attached to a vehicle is useful to a scammer. A photoshopped number is going to be obvious, unless the scammer is very skilled.


    I usually leave the number plates visible - I'm not all that paranoid and was really only thinking aloud.
    If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.

    I always wonder whether these people hide the plates while they're driving around, too.
