Mr Hilario, You obviously haven’t dealt with many Eastern European criminals before, sometimes it’s just not worth the hassle it’ll bring you. :thumbsdown:

The problem you have here is that although its back up for sale, despite the <beep> circumstances, is not too much different from getting a part ex figure from a dealer and them selling it on for profit. Thats how I see it anyway, other people may view it differently.

If the threads earlier weren't posted in the first place dave would be none the wiser, it would look like someone was after a quick buck and he would be happily driving his new C7.

Even if the police were interested you would still have to prove that they scammed dave out of money. That would mean having video of them in the act, having him say it was working fine before the test would just be a he said they said situation, even though people are well aware that he has looked after it.

I hope this doesn't sound dickish but it's just not worth the police's time chasing this if there is no proof.

All you can really do is spam the ad saying what they had done and hope they don't sell it on for too much more then dave sold it unfortunately.

We should do a group viewing. One turn heads. One water pistol some <beep> up the pipes. The other drop some oil in the expansion tank.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Wow, that must be sickening :-(

Seriously though, there has to be enough people to get a group together to go and get the car back.

Many thanks for the spot of the advert (https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... 2968958555)

One thing you could all do is to click on the top right and report that the owner tried to scam me - it just might get FB notice if enough do it.

Sadly I agree with vagmachine that there is little (legal) one could do - I don't have video evidence, or any other way of "proving" what happened other than the fact that I banked the cash the following day.

Of course, if a number of you decide to go and look at the beast........ :twisted: :twisted:

Somebody has probably told them about on here, that's why the advert has gone.
Let's hope they get caught, at least we all know about the scam now, sadly MrPerc was the victim (feck him, he's got a C7 now anyway :lol: )
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

Well, for those interested here's the text of the ad ....

"AUDI RS6 4.2 V8 BITURBO AUTO STAGE 2 remapped 550 HP with Print out beautiful beast drive amazing no problems at all this done 200K but drive like 100K lot of money been spent on it all over their years don’t let the mileage put you away from this car it’s a perfect condition and only Audi full service history and professional remapped this car £1800 cost.. a stocks of pepper work. Any more info please call ‭‭+44 7735 335480‬‬"

Afraid I don't have their pics though

I reported it on FB as a scam, and also sherd via my timeline - interestingly both have gone, so probably was FB that took it down.

Let's keep eyes open!

It was up for £6500 - and I do have screenshots of the FB ad if anyone wants them - found I'd left the ad open on my browser so was able to capture even though FB have taken it down :boots:

And yes I noticed the "stocks of pepper" too - best Audi and MRC pepper! :-)
