Hey Scooby - looks like the link has your postcode in it.

Just thought I'd mention in case you had not noticed.

I'm looking to buy a 996 and this gem came up.

I successfully had a scam advert removed last year when I was looking to buy. Searching through my email history the reply I received was from this address:

customerservicescam@tradermedia.net

Not sure if it's still valid but worth a go.
