For those of you who have not been following my self-declared war on the Autotrader UK scammers... a quick recap:

Over the last 2 months, I have identified what I believe to be 3-5 different scammer groups operating fake car ads on Autotrader UK. They use fake escrow companies like Google Wallet, eBay and Aldersgate Escrow Limited. I have been relentlessly shutting down their fake ads, reporting their websites, bank accounts and mules. I have been aided and abetted by several Eater baiters, and we have reported many bank accounts across the UK, Poland and Spain. (You know who you are - THANK YOU!)

I've noticed that 1-2 of the groups have "gone away" - no new fake ads, no responses to emails. Then, today, I saw this!

I REALLY hope their silence means they have been BUSTED!!!! I'm sure this bust was the result of a lengthy investigation by Autotrader UK's security group and UK law enforcement. (I'd like to think we baiters may have contributed in some small way. Very Happy ) But, the point is, this group got busted. I hope they are the first but not the last.
