Auto Trader Scammers?

[GreenMint]

Hi guys, just put my Fiesta up on Auto Trader and got this email today:

Good Dy..
I am Mr Tom Wolly i am so much interested in buying your advertised ar for sale listed on Autotader will like you to get back to me with the present condiction and also if this is still forsale.
Mr Tom

Just reeks of ebay scam-mails/messages and probably is, but you never know!

Just when he offers to send a cheque for £3000 and to pass X amount on to his friend in Botswana when i post the car 1st Class recorded

However could be legit and the guy just can't spell/punctuate very well?

Has anyone else using Auto Trader for car sales had much "spam" contact about the cars/bikes?

Irony? What irony? *dons halo*

Yep, sadly will be a scam, i just wasn't sure how much it happens with AT, but cheers mate
