I was sent this by trade me straight after I viewd it looks like a scam :twisted:

Hi gareth,

We have concerns about the listing Toyota Land Cruiser VX LTD 2002 - 744764198, which you participated in or viewed recently.

DO NOT COMPLETE THIS TRADE. The membership has been compromised by a scammer and this listing is not genuine. The items do not exist. Do not make contact using any of the email addresses set out in the listing. We have suspended this membership until we have resolved this with the actual membership holder.

You may receive further emails from the scammers claiming that the seller has now been verified by Trade Me. This will also be a hoax and is another way to trick you into making the trade. Do not respond to them.

Here are a few additional tips:

- Never pay money overseas or by Western Union, Money Gram, PayPal or any other instant payment method.
- If you wish to complete a transaction via SafeTrader, visit www.safetrader.co.nz to create a membership and follow the instructions.
- If you click a link in an email, make sure you check the website address you're being sent to. For Trade Me, the URL in the address bar will always start with http://www.trademe.co.nz/
- If you have concerns over a trader's authenticity please contact Trade Me immediately on 0800 334 332 or forward the email to abuse@trademe.co.nz. Our team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I’m sorry that you have had this experience and hope you continue to enjoy using the site.

Do let me know if you have any problems with this and keep in touch should anything crop up in the future. If you would prefer to chat in person, just call through on 0900 872 33. Please be aware these calls cost $1.99 + GST per minute but you are most welcome to email for free anytime.

I got the same email about a 2006 Prado a few weeks back. Was listed for 9000 on trademe. Seemed too good to be true, and sure enough it was.
