Hi ,
Don't know if it's been long since you've emailed, I've been out so couldn't follow up on my text message. Can't promise anything but visiting my mum shortly, wouldn't mind making a drop off :) . 

If you'll send me your postcode I can check out on my satnav the distance to yours.

Reasonable price and accurate description, it's worth the money, no bad surprises. I won't go any lower.
Can be reached on 07973-425-052 low signal strength area :( but check emails regularly.
Ta,
Mel.
P.S. Will take cash only.

Sad pathetic tw@ tried to rob me of £190 for a spa in north Yorkshire. York

MELANIE WHERTON  is busy trying to sell us a kayak
thankfully i had never heard of ukash
googled it and found this page
she used the same email reply  
lets hope she gets caught

The advert that was on gumtree for a "huge youngman boss tower scaffold" was copied from an advert that i had on ebay back in may, i had it up forsale for nearly £1000 but the scammers had it up for £450 which is way too cheap, they copied my advert word for word and even used my pictures!! i saw the scam advert within hours of it being posted after my advert finished, i reported it loads of times to gumtree but they didnt seem to be bothered about it as it just kept getting relisted over and over again, i didnt know how they were scamming people untill i just discovered this page, its been going on over 3 months now and i hope no one fell for this scam, if the price is too good to be true then it probably is!

Hi Guys,

Becareful of an advert for a Canon Eos 40d Camera with a zoom lens and a flash advertised by melanie75wherton@gmail.com. Very believeable email contact. £160. All the same ukash crap and Parcel Force rubbish. I,d love to get my hands around their necks,but the truth is it's a faceless crime!! Probably to do with organised crime and the drug trade.

All the geniune people out there looking for a bargain in these tough economic times are easy meat for these faceless cowards of this electronic age,PURE SCUM!!!!

Gumtree have been informed and I am still waiting to hear from their Concerned,not,Team!!!

I was going to buy a cannondale supersix road bike frame. Got really excited, until i saw this.

ive had excatley the same emails mine was for fish tank on gumtree but me not thinking paid and sent details to later find i had been scammed ! but have imformed the police and gumtree and is being investigated but dont hold out any hope of anything coming of it but lesson defo learned !!

I've also just found the scammer when trying to buy a set of recaro seats for my car from someone called "Stacey Stone" in Essex on Gumtree. Had all the right signals at first saying I could collect. Then came out to say through work "she" could send it with parcel force through company benefits, and then later went on to say I could pay cash upon delivery, which I did not believe I could do so was already sceptical. I carried on with it anyway, knowing at this point I had nothing to lose. I then get the email from parcel force saying to send them a picture of the UKASH voucher for the required amount, which is just ridiculous!! As soon as I read that email, I went straight to Google and what do you know, its a well known scam by the looks of it!
"She" went by the name of "Stacey Stone"
Used the phone number "07973425052"
And emailed from "stacey75stone@gmail.com" which also corresponds with the email addreses that people have mentioned on here, featuring the 75 between names!

I replied to an ad on Gumtree, I have almost just bought a roland drumkit for £500 cash through a ukash voucher via a paypoint from this guy, claiming to be Stacey Stone in Bournemouth.  Thankfully I had the sense to phone parcelforce and question the email sent.
What a complete £$%$&**, how many people are being scammed by this low-life?

Stacey stone ( fake name )

Is a con artist.

Beware people.  He or she is trying to sell a treadmill in Leicestershire.

Karma is coming for you knob-Head

We have been taken in with Stacey and lost £250 all my husbands birthday money I am feeling so sick. We trust people, never again. People like that are scum of the earth hurting decent people like me and my husband. Don't even know if it is a he or a she. Looking back at the comments made she has said exactly the same to us, wont go any lower, cash only, good working order etc. We have certainly learnt a valuable lesson

Hi, I nearly bought that drumkit too, she is still waiting for me to reply.
I knew that it was too good to be true!

Glad you've realised and didn't pay

Cheers

Erwin

Currently advertising an Ocean Cot bed on Gumtree. I got exactly the same message as others - cash on delivery, low signal strength on mobile etc & no details of address/location.

Thanks so much for the post - I could have been taken in too! - currently advertising on Essex Gumtree - she gets about!

Booked it for Tuesday am, 9-10am. Great, I've just finished filling out the forms online and Parcel Force will handle payment as well, you'll need cash. You should receive email notifications on how to proceed. Get back to me if you don't receive them and if you have any queries, glad to help.
Stacey.
P.S. If not in your inbox check your junk or spam folder also.

Unfortunately I've just got called into the office (i get sent countrywide with less than 24hrs notice) so very busy till next week. Back at work we have some shipments for large items with parcelforce all week long. Just thought it would save you time and hassle if I'll send it along with them free of charge :)  company benefits :)  .

I asked around and it seems you can pay cash upon delivery/inspection. It's quite simple since they're able to wait for you to check it out, if not as described they can just void the shipment with no extra charge.

If that's alright with you I'll need a name, address, contact number and also date&time suitable for the delivery.
Working long hours so If you want to pop in and pick it up you'll have to wait till next week or so when hopefully I'll get my head around  :)
Let me know either way.
Stacey.

Hi Jim,
Don't know if it's been long since you've emailed, I've been out so couldn't follow up on my text message. Can't promise anything but visiting my mum shortly, wouldn't mind making a drop off  :)  .

If you'll send me your postcode I can check out on my satnav the distance to yours.

Reasonable price and accurate description, it's worth the money, no bad surprises. I won't go any lower.

hi wondered how much and can you post them to bd20 odb area code

I nearly got caught too, it seems to be a standard operation but with the names changing. The google profile thing is just another part of the sting. Here's mine - BEWARE!!

Hi Stacey,
Thanks for getting back to me.

How old is the monitor?

Thanks

Same woman Stacey stone selling a weights bench plus weights in Guildford in sent exact same email . Recognised the scam from previous Gumtree ad by someone else for a dc25 Dyson . It's only until I got the parcel force email asking for my card details that I clocked on. No one should ever ask for your bank or card details and believe me when something is really cheap and not available
For collection it's a scam !

I'm afraid this fraudster is still active.  I very nearly got caught, but this page and the one on Money Super Market saved us - we got as far as buying UKASH vouchers, but thankfully never sent them.

Also selling some B&O speakers on gumtree. stacey stone, same wordings on email. got suspicious at the odd way of handling the delivery bit and came on here. as the latins would say, caveat emptor.

Checked out the google+ profile and reported it as fake.
I wonder whose it really is - poor person :(

Thank goodness for this site! We very nearly 'bought' an outwell tent on gumtree from 'Stacey'. Got the exact same email as a few others above except she and her 'mum' have now moved to Guildford!!!! Luckily I googled just before I confirmed. Loser!

Thanks for the posts!
