illyun,

Your car or pictures of it are being used on ebay? Not sure if they chappie who bought it off you is trying to make a quick buck, though the millege is much less than you stated. So I wonder if someone is using your pics? Or is it someone trying to scam on ebay as usual?

Just thought Id let you know..

Thanks for that guys... a work colleague recognised the car and told me... I will be notifying ebay.  This kind of thing never happenned to me until 3 weeks ago when I saw my Edition 30 on Autotrader and rang the guy up to ask why he'd copied my photos... he couldn't give a **ss so I notified Autotrader who removed the ad promptly - and of course didn't refund his money  :rolleyes: Another scammer copied and pasted my R32 photos a couple of days later on an ebay auction.  I mailed the guy and he said that his ebay account had been hacked into - I notified ebay who didn't do anything - I really can't stand ebay.  Then some guy selling his black Edition 30 copied and pasted my text and I had to write to him... and now this.  Its really annoying.  My Edition 30 went to the dealers - VW Solihull.

the guy with the hacked ebay account story may have been telling the truth. My brother-in-law had some 1500 quid speakers he had sold relisted under his name, with notice to use a different email address,. All without his knowledge, but using his account name. :angry:
