Yeah, I noticed this.
I'd imagine a trader that has bought it off private seller for less than £12999 and then relisted it incorrectly at £6950.
Bet it was mean't to be listed at £16950.

Certainly FB Market place is rife with scam adverts and sellers.

I guess no reason ebay won't be full of them too. Although odd the seller seems to have lots of positive feedback for lots of items

Oh christ is it. I just tried to sell a fridge/freezer. Probably had about 50 people message me.

3 tried to scam me into buying prepaid Mastercards. 2 turned up and offered me less then half what they agreed to pay for it and about 20 people asked for it for free.

For the sake of £70 it's going in the bin having now given my address to more than 5 people. furious

I have noticed a lot of ads coming up recently at unbelievably low prices - generally 60-70% of asking price, so not as blatantly scammy as usual.

The ones I'd seen, they've scraped the images from Autotrader or eBay, not duplicated an existing Facebook ad. Bit daft to put your scam ad on the same platform isn't it?

Starting to see them with "happy to take a deposit" at the end. Presumably you get in touch, there's a sob story reason why it needs to be sold quick, lots of interest but the first to pay a deposit can come and collect, only fair way blah blah.

I have quite a few things I could probably sell, but it's many of those reasons I don't. I don't need some dodgy characters coming to my house to scope it out, for sake of a few quid item
It's a pity it is like that, but it is just reality.

Bidding low though is fair game. But the time wasted dealing with them as you say, is it worth the few quid ?

But I showed interest in a couple of cars on marketplace recently, some profiles even seemed legit ( so I presume hacked ), but when you enquire about the car, they direct you to some dodgy "transport" company who is selling the car for them as they're out of the country etc.
