Thanks for posting this just had the same thing user name drew296 sent me this as part of a email "Sounds good. Before leaving my place I'll let you know, Sorry about that, but I've some queries regarding your vehicle history. So, can you share me the M H reprt?"

It's a good idea to give Trade Me a heads up about that trader directly Shane, so they can shut the account down.

I have just had the same issue with a listing for a car i advertised today. How do I get in touch with trade me to report this?

Kia Ora Helen,

If you have an email you can forward this directly through to their Trust & Safety Team using the abuse@trademe.co.nz email address.

You can contact TradeMe staff through "Live Chat" for direct assistance, If you select the Contact us Link at the very bottom of any TradeMe page the Chat Tab will Pop up in blue at the bottom right of your landing page screen. - Enter in the Chat bot which comes up once opened - Talk to person - and you are taken to entering a few details before arriving at the window to Chat with a Real Person/Staff. - Have copies/screenshots of any questions to attach & enter your Listing number in the Chat window itself.

Hi, I had the same issue with my listing as well. This buyer (fake) @khateemaely asked all the right questions and then said, "Sounds good. Before leaving my place I'll let you know, Sorry about that, but I've some queries regarding your vehicle history. So, can you share me the M H rep"

Once again, he sent me another email with a link attached to it, asking for an ASAP reply. 

Kia Ora Rajdeep,

Thanks for the heads up on this one, 

Ensure you forward those emails through to the Trust & Safety Team enabling them to take action asap. - Keep vigilant & safe - Cheers.

Just googled to find out what the MH report is so thanks for the heads up, just and this as well in trade me

Thanks for the heads up. Just listed a car today, someone sounded interested, made all the right noises, then asked for an MHH report first and now I've seen this post. Thought it seemed suss.

Just received one of these today! Leo Adrian is the name. Reported to Trade Me

Kia Ora All,

WoW! it's full on out there - well done for catching the play and not falling for it. 

Just a reminder to follow all the safety precautions through this Post & valuable Links - Run your device(s) through a malware/virus scan if you have clicked into any Links & Once your email has been forwarded to TradeMe filter it through to your spam/junk folder enabling your service provider to block it from their level also. 

Be alert for phishing scams which may arrive through your emails & filter them through to your spam/junk folders accordingly. - I've had the NZ Transport Agency Rego Alert phishing email come through recently. - Keep Vigilant & Safe! - Cheers.

Luckily most scammers (so far) generally aren't that sophisticated. They just send out bulk attempts in the hope they will catch 1 in a 100. In a small country like ours when something comes up like an MHH report it causes most people to have a "hmmmmm" moment. It's not a known company here, so causes most people to pause.

What's going to be interesting in the near future is incoming next gen AI scams that will potentially be much more personalized and realistic.

they are still active folks - I was contacted by JAMES DEVIES (almost certainly fake name) he asked all the right questions, then wanted to view and asked me to provide 'MHH Paperwork' - google it, this is a scam. The paperwork doesn't exist. The scammer will send a link to the supposed documents resulting in malware/worse infecting your computer. I didn't take the bait, blocked him and advised TM. If you are selling and someone asks for MHH or VAC reports, don't respond. Happy selling folks :)

Hi team had the same thing from
