Looked pretty dodgy and they clearly made a mistake in thinking I was in the USA. Anyway, I recognised the photos from a Facebook advert so contacted the seller to warn them. They've since done a Google Search and seen many cases of these scammers using the same process
Be aware!

Re: Scammer Alert
Got this today in a pm on here. We've been infiltrated again. Seems to want to buy my RS4 according to the heading. Looks like the IQ level is heading into the minuses.

Re: Scammer Alert
I've done a little investigation.... It seems there's a few scam attempts going on. Thankfully, with the help of the users, we have detected this early. Please be super careful. If in doubt, use PayPal for payments, but do not send as a gift. Bank transfers are unlikely to result in money back if it is a scam.

Re: Scammer Alert
I got one for an Eventuri - emailed me afterwards and wants $550 for it
If that’s not a scam nothing is same message (exactly) on several other wanted posts, from wheels to cars.
