I'm assuming Jill has pissed Anthony off and this is his way of winding her up with 20 phone calls a night until she changes her number.

The fact that they haven't bothered to obscure the reg and "must be picked up asap" makes me think it's intended to pester someone with half a million phone calls. 

[Pillock]

It was the "call or text Jill" and the urgency of it, maybe Anthony didn't realise they don't publish phone numbers.

I just google earthed the area and it doesn't seem to match up with the type of house shown in the photo.

 

Edit, someone beat me to it above, its an old photo.

Message sent to the vendor.

No number on the ad. It's also less than half a mile away so I could actually go round there right now and ask.

[fatharris]

Do it, then I'll have numbers 1-59 on the roffle please.

Shame it seems to be a scam. If it was genuine and somebody pulled it off, they could sell this again within half an hour for one big fat profit

I suspect if there had been a number their phone would look like this by now

I started reading the thread thinking "I hope it doesn't end up lime green with a pinto on 40s...

 

Oh well.

I read that thread just now, hoping, update by update, that it wouldn't end up with a roll cage, minilites and a barry colour.

Great* to see the owner isn't a sheep.

 

 

On a different note, I really hope someone has tried scamming the scammer.
