I have seen several fake sites and ebay lilistings requiring you to email them
Here is mk2 owners club fake ad
1993 Mk1 Golf GTI Sportline Cabriolet | VW Golf Mk2 OC - Cars For Sale
Email reponse directs you to this site

Dont sign in to any paypal or ebay sites you receive via email as they are fake like these sites above
This seems to happening a lot lately
If it seems to good to be true it probably is
Dont be fooled and keep your guard up
