Yeah thats what i thought. Usually when something seems too good to be true, its because its BS. There is a notice on Pistonheads stating this:
"Current Fraud Warnings
Please be aware that our site is currently being targeted by criminals attempting to scam unwary buyers.
PISTONHEADS PURCHASE PROTECTION SCAM
We are aware of a large number of emails being sent apparently from buyersprotection@pistonheads.com
These are fake emails and should be deleted.
If you have responded to any of these emails then please contact us immediately.
Fake Escrow Scams
Scammers are posting adverts with extremely low prices and when emailed they claim that they need a quick sale and that the vehicle is not available for viewing.
They have also recently started using the PistonHeads name and logos to give their advert more credibility.
PistonHeads does not operate an approved seller scheme or a purchase protection program. We also do not offer any payment system through the site - all deals must be done directly with the seller.
We strongly recommend against using Money-Gram, Western Union or any other form of wire transfer as this is an extremely unsafe method of sending money to people you do not know.
For more information
Please see our Fraud Warnings page or the Vehicle Safe Trading Advisory Group - VSTAG.co.uk"
Seems it may be a common problem. Hope nobody on here gets caught out by it! Oh well, off to traul the forsale section
