Leboncoin is one of the best-known classifieds sites in France, and you can sometimes find surprising offers there… In the car section of the site, you can notably consult the ad for a Sentinel Oracle Brand new XS, for sale for only 2500 euros. The problem? The car is absolutely not real, and is from GTA V.
A larger-than-life ad
We will appreciate the trouble that this little joker took to publish his offer. Petrol model, only 55,000 km on the odometer, to be picked up in Limoges, photo of the vehicle in support… His ad has everything a real one! Except that the proposed car only exists virtually in San Andreas, and will not take you anywhere in real life.
Not sure that a buyer is gullible enough to really fall for it, but the screenshot of GTA V has its little effect. Further proof that the game still looks pretty despite its growing age. Reflections on the bodywork, play of light and shadow… The graphics of the Rockstar game do their job, and we would almost be tempted to click on the ad.
A national sport on Leboncoin
This fake ad is probably the most “realistic” of the lot, but you should know that there are others that appear frequently on Leboncoin.
And some sellers do not skimp on the price! These ads published by troublemakers have the merit of reminding us that we must be very careful about what we buy on the net. Imagine for a moment that an overly unsuspecting buyer finalizes the transaction for a car worth tens of thousands of euros, which is absolutely nothing real. It’s expensive to pay the comings and goings in the streets of Los Santos…
Since last Sunday, the world of the video game industry has been a little upset because of the many leaks of which GTA 6, the next opus of the immense Rockstar Games, has been the victim. Following this, the starred firm decided to show its teeth and not let things go unpunished.
