I sent a response to the Belfast advert asking for the VIN. This is the reply from Clifford Pierce [clifford@pierce55.com]:

"Hello,

Thank you for your interest in my 2006 MG ZT 4.6 V8 260bhp 5000 miles. The car is in perfect condition MOT and tax valid until 10 July 2010. I am located in Aberdeen, and I have the car with me, I will ship it from here on my expense through DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers).The payment will be handled securely through eBay. They will handle the financial part of this transaction, I will only take care of the shipping.If you want to make this purchase, the final price is 5,900 GBP. I ask a little for this great car since I am passing through a divorce with my wife and I need to get rid of it fast. Send me your name and address so I can start the case with eBay. They will contact you by email with instructions.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Best Regards! "

I emailed again asking for the VIN and heard nothing. It was only when I saw a post from Steve today that I thought that number looks familiar.

I had the same email. The alarm bells were already ringing...!

Thing is, someone will fall for it.

This is a scam thanks for letting me know. Thats not my car but they have used my reg. I suppose its to late to blank over my reg.

Steve.

Can't we contact the police or someone to get this shite

[Blue Flash]

Is it somehow possible to set him/them up and in the process maybe getting an address,name,number? then letting him fall big style maybe then passing the info on to ebay or the Police.

[Peter260]

Ebay is really strict with this.
So if it is possible to prove they will take action.

I have been in something like this before and ebay took the seller and then took further actions to stop the seller (also paying me back the cost).

So i think who ever can prove this should post it to ebay (there is a special link for that).

[stevemiller]

I have contacted the local police and they will be sending someone out today. I will keep you all posted. Thanks for the notification and help eStateTrooper and Philby777.

Steve.

Glad to hear. I would contact Ebay as well, seeing as he has used your reg number. Get him blocked.
