Captain Craigs latest on gumtree!!!

Hello thanks for reply, i am a marine engineer, i am at sea right now. I
am buying this for my son as a surprise gift. I can  only pay through
paypal at the moment as i don't have access to my bank account online(i
dont have internet banking with it), but i have it attached to my
paypal account, and this is why i insisted on using paypal to pay,all
i will need is your paypal email address to make the payment, and if
you dont have a paypal account yet, you can set one  it cant take you
less than 3mins to do that, i will be expecting your paypal email so l
can pay.  I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after
payment has been sorted,  l will be waiting for your reply asap..

We have had the exact same thing through gumtree the past week. Trying to sell a vehicle, he uses PayPal, can't pay the agent for pickup himself, asks us to pay out of our pocket into an account with western union. Asked all questions to verify he is a legit buyer, didnt answer any. He is now starting to get impatient, will be reporting him to police and harassing.
He first sent a txt msg expressing interest then an email using captaincraig11@gmail.com

Me too!   Hope somebody gets him.   I had an ad on Gumtree for a car sale - exactly same wording as previous message.   Trying the Paypal trick and now threatening me with legal action if I do not pay pickup fees to his agent!  What a rat - surely someone has to get him!!   I lost a sale through him!!

As someone said, no doubt they are watching this site also - hence the anonymous!!   Thought I would do the Google thing and guess what......   he's been a busy boy!!    What a first class rat!!

I got the same message work for word. Unbelievable!

I dont use Paypal but how does the scam work?

PLEASE BE CAREFULL OF THIS PERSON ........ ALSO USES EMAIL ADDY bonnie14we​ndy (bonnie_jss6395rgf@members.ebay.co.uk)

Hi Rich
What a sad story, am in deed sorry to hear that, you must have lost a lot of money on the car, too bad, well
For that reason, i'm okay with the price of this item, i'm seriously interested and ready for its purchase. Sorry i will not be able to deal locally as I'm a Petroleum Engineer once again I would have love to deal locally view what i'm buying face to face and pay in cash but i'm always BUSY at work, so my form of payment will be by paypal because i don't have access to my bank account online (i also don't have internet banking with it), I have my bank account attached to my PayPal account, and this is why i insisted on using PayPal to pay, all i will need to process the money into your paypal account is your PayPal e-mail address and if you don't have a PayPal account yet, you can set one up at www.paypal.com it won't take you less than 5mins to do that. I have a Private Courier Service agent ready to PICK It UP at your location and the Courier Service money will be included in your payment to avoid delay
and to enable Courier Service to schedule an appropriate time for the pick-up at your location after the money has been successfully been transferred into your PayPal account This is not my first time doing this so i have everything under control.
If you also have some more pictures, might want to have a good look. Please do get back to me with your PayPal e-mail and full name on so i can make out payment ASAP. I want your honesty in return to my faithfulness to you during this transaction. Your immediate response is really appreciated

Hi I was selling my prom dress to Lisa Beeley and I gave her my paypal id to sent £250.
She said she sent it but obviously Its not in my paypal balance?
Now that she has my PayPal ID can she access my money in the future?
And what should I do now?

Best check those questions with PayPay as soon as you can.

Hi I have messaged PayPal and am awaiting a reply. In the meantime she claims to have sent £250 to my  PayPal. I then received 3 emails from supposedly PayPal but they looks fake and they said to be able to receive my funds I have to reply to their message. There is then more information about Western Union and send money to this address

I am now very frightened as I feel that I will be blamed for taking money.
What should I d? :/

Hey guys I have another scammer aswell :( his name is Mark Smith with the email clefnjammy@gmail.com

I have had emails saying I will be reported to the Metropolitan Police :S

What now?

He is now using johnsdge22@gmail.com.  Through Gumtree Australia. Phone number is +61428465117.

Surely someone can find the prick.

Thank you I will try and keep reporting these people so not one can get scammed in the future.

May I suggest that you contact Action Fraud on 03001232040 or on their website at http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/

Thanks! I have just filed a report hopefully everything is okay and these idiots can be stopped

Guys you may feel like justice isn't being served so do what I do. Try and fill their inbox with nonsense just like they did with mine. How? by subscribing them to random stuff that only require an email :D
Oh Lisa Beeley you apparently love reading magazines and wanting lots of discounts! MUAHAHAHAHAH

realrauf62  ...... & ..........(david.busham@live.com)  do not deal with any of them names  ...again they are scams  ........ i posted  a similar message  a few weeks back with 2 different names on (ABOVE)    but i appear to have had a similar message from  this guy requesting i let a private courier come fetch my car and he pay me through pay pal  .... yeah right   dick !!
It's good to read from you  i'm okay with the condition and price of this item, i'm seriously interested  i will be paying you with my PayPal account because it's attached to my bank account and its safe and very secure way to make payment. If my mode of payment is accepted just send me your paypal email address,(Paypal ID) I have a private courier agent that will come for the pick up after payments has been made,and have your money to you  so no shipping included the price. And if you dont have a paypal account, you can easily go to www.paypal.com and sign up. its very easy. If you also have some more pictures, might want to have a good look. Please do get back to me with your PayPal e-mail and full name on so i can make out payment ASAP. I want your honesty in return to my faithfulness to you during this transaction. Your immediate response is really appreciated.
Kind regards.
