These car type scammers are getting lazy.

[x Alex x]

whilst looking for the puntos replacement i came across a fairly cheap, 206 convertible thing, £900 on gumtree, i never dismiss things as too good to be true because i've got 2 cars off there at an amazing price, including my punto for £150.

anyway after seeing it was still there i got this load of old rubbish, if anyone actually fell for it they'd sure qualify to be locked up in some sort of phycological establishment.

i still don't fully understand how it works though
