    So yesterday at 5:15pm I posted my Altezza up on Done Deal, its a nice car if I do say so myself and I've definitely priced it over the odds to see how it goes, but thats niether here nor there.
    I stayed in last night and at 10pm I recieved this message from an unknown number....
    Sure ur out anyway... I didnt reply as I was pretty sure it was a wrong number, I thought nothing of it.
    Today at 1pm I recieve this from the same number
    Well ur gone fierce quiet ha........:confused:
    So I reply, as I do for the next hour or so...
    Who is this?
    Dont start tat boll0xn agn u no who dis is
    So who do u think I am then? U either hav d wrong number r ur d 1 actin d bollox
    Dis is denis
    Well I dont kno any denis, how many eddies do u kno?
    Ah not many
    So has d penny dropped bud? Do ya have d wrong number?
    Yep

    Where did u evn get my number bud? I'm from Tullow
    Jesus christ where d fcuk is dat
    Where d fcuk is dat?<<this was within 15 mins of the previous message, to which I had not replied. I got onto Done deal and blanked the plates in the pics on my ad and within 20 mins I recieved this...

    No bother bud, shur I'll hang onto ur number just incase I'm ever looking 4 ya;)

    Dats pretty fcuking dodgy to say the least, so what do ye make of it? Am I being paranoid thinking somebody is trying to nick my car? I've had the same number for 8 years and in all that time I've been mistaken for somebody else maybe once or twice. I've got one or two texts since and I havn't replied.

    Sounds shady enough, spotted a few dodgy adds on donedeal in the past few weeks and reported them all and they were taken down immediately.

    I wouldn't be too worried about it, he hasn't got any identifying information about you and has nothing that would help him nick your car.

    I'm pretty sure he hasn't either, but it certainly seems he was rooting for info. I was just wondering what people made of the whole thing or maybe if somebody else had experienced something similar.
    Nobody will find it where it's parked anyway:pac:

    by the sounds of it, its shady...
    I would say looking for info on where the car is.... by asking your address, to see if its an easy target

    Seen a few tractors going at very small money from what their worth. They were all posted around the same time one sunday morning with the same UK phone number but a different name and positioned across different counties in IRL. I reported the add and got following email back
