Hi, I am selling a car at the mo through adverts.ie and carzone and buyandsell etc. I am getting a few emails from foreign "buyers" who will send a draft for car and shipping and i send back price of shipping etc etc the usual scam. i do enjoy my obscene email replies to them but is there anywhere that this can be reported?

They use untraceable email addresses, so the answer is no. Just ignore them.

Agreed.

Ignore them completely.

Doing anything else is wasting your time.

Even in sending them back obscure e-mails you are only confirming for them that you e-mail address is valid.

Ignore the emails and treat them as spam.
It's a well known scam but obviously works sometimes.
