paulyinthenorth Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 So I was having breakfast this morning and browsing on motors.co.uk to see if my old car had sold... Looks like it did. But I found this ad: That's a picture of MY car in MY parking space at MY old flat. Some garage is using it to sell a car that's a year newer than mine was with half the mileage. What's all that about?! Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSTA Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 You have saved it on a cloud photo hosting service,, with public access to the photos and have not retained copyrite ownership. Guess you are lucky that its only a car and not anything more personal ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattJakeT Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I don't know if it would annoy me or if I would take it as a compliment? Looks fab though Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyedge Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Don't get me started on eBay sellers using your pics on their listings! Cheeky I have reported many to eBay which resulted in some of the listings being taken down, serves them right 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philf1 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'd report that to trading standards as the car they are selling is not the one in the ad unless they make it clear it's a different car it's surely misleading buyers Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
