Within 24 hours of placing ad on AutoTrader received a text that first repeated the vehicle information and price in my ad which I have eliminated here. The rest if the text was as follows: Hello,Kindly let me know the condition and availability of this AD. Thanks,Scott.

Was immediately suspicious of the text because the condition of the vehicle was very clear in the ad which included 18 pictures. After doing some research, found this site indicating this person has done this with other AutoTrader ads.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
