I REALLY want to know how much he is paying for each ad. It maybe time to invest in some skype credits and call AT UK.

If any of the AT scammers that you're having fun with aren't using hacked dealer accounts, then from the UK website it looks like it's at least £36 per ad private or £9.99 if the vehicle is priced at under £1000. (£38 and £17 if trade) So if they aren't using stolen credit cards either then it would be hurting them in the pocket.

Some are hacking large dealer accounts, but a few seem to be posting individual ads as trade sellers. I hadn't even considered that they might be using stolen credit cards. As organized as these guys are, That's probably a good bet. Makes me hate them even more!!!!!!! Evil or Very Mad

You don't need to spend time finding the scams. I list them daily here

Some days there are over 100 and it's important to bait the freshest ones as they rotate the email addies they use to weed out hoaxers.

They're a well organised gang and I won't say any more in the open as I know that they monitor my thread at SW because they've reacted to things Ive mentioned there. They're tedious to bait but there are other tactics that can be employed.
