I have had the same issue today after only advertising my car on autotrader UK yesterday offering full asking price without viewing the car.. each email has read;
Customer Details:
NAME: MRS kudeti Larah
TELEPHONE:
EMAIL: [email protected]
Vehicle Details:
MAKE: SEAT
MODEL: IBIZA
PRICE: £3600
Message:
is this auto still for sale and what is the final price ?
followed by;
and then after me questioning them i got this;
this seems to e quite a common email address to be used as scams for autotrader and paypal.

Thanks for the prompt response.I'm Okay with the condition of the Car, as i
have already go through it on the ad but just trying to make little inquiry
from you ready to buy it now for my Daughter, I'm at sea at the
moment as I'm a Navy Officer,and due to the nature of my Job.....phone
calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time
to check this advert and send you a Text regarding it. I really want it to
be a surprise for my Daughter i won't let her know anything about it until
it gets delivered to her, i am sure she will be more than happy with it. I
insisted on PayPal because i don't have access to my bank account online as
i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my PayPal account, as i
have my bank a/c attached to it,Get back to me with your PayPal email and
the price so i can proceed with the payment quickly, and sorry if you don't
have an Account, you sign-up for a PayPal personal account
http://www.paypal.com it is very fast and easy to set up. And there is a
shipping company pick up
agent that will come for the pick up after the payment has been sorted out.
Thanks.
and then after me questioning them i got this;
Hi,
am okay with the price and the pick up agent will come for the pickup
and sign every necessary document once the payment has been made..so kindly
get back to me with your full home address or wherever you would like the
Car to be pick up, so that i can get the pick up agent ready for the pick
up once i made the payment ..and please i will advice you to go and end the
item on the list..and don't also forget to send me your Phone Number so
that i can inform you once the payment has been made the payment has been
made...
cheers
