Katie Cooper (i think a scam!) wrote me sms from 0428 465 117:
Sent from: Katie, Is the room you have on gumtree still available for rent? if yes, Pls. only reply back to me at katiecoope100@gmail.com Thanks. Katie.
I emailed back:
Hi Katie,
Yes, the room is still available. Thanks for your interest.
Would you please email me a couple of lines about yourself (age, work/study, how long you intend to stay).
Cheers,
J****
Hi J****,
Many thanks for your response. I am 27 year old non smoker lady coming to Australia. I work as chef on cruise ship at the moment and i have limited time to surf the internet and also phone calls is also strictly limited due to nature of my work. Kindly make the arrangement for the total cost covering my first three months rent together with bond from 20th of November. I will also like you to get  back to me with your full home address for me to forward it to my mover to calculate the total cost of moving my little stuffs from USA. I will be waiting to read back from you. Cheers. Katie.
Then my response:
OK, cool!
Why don't you send me a copy of your passport, home address on a driver's licence (from your way of talking you are probably in the UK, aren't you?), and if you can arrange a quick skype or gmail video just for 3 min once when you are doing your email, just so i can see your face matches with your details, i am happy to arrange it. I am pretty much available all the time.
Just out of interest, which ship are you on at the moment?
Cheers,
J****

"Michael Sayers" is still at it. This time with my car for sale on carsales.com.au
I did not know about the scam and stupidly gave him some bank details. Have since closed the account even though the bank says he can't access it. Oh well. Live and learn.

Sent from: Thi Kim
I'm ready to rent ur 'for rent' unit on ibilik, Pls kindly send me more pictures/price to my email (dvdlnll22@gmail.com) please i prefer email no text

I had a similar text regarding  items for sale on gumtree.
Name Tom Shedy , asking for the firm price & for me to email him at
tomshedy02@gmail.com
Also offered me over my asking price and saying he would pay by P PayPal as he was currently out of town.

Got a message from this number for a listing on Gumtree from Tom Shedy asking me to email him at tomshedy02@gmail.com. The item is up for $799 but he kept insisting on paying $1000 through paypal. That's when it seemed Suss! So glad I saw this though when putting his name in google. Thanks to everyone for posting!

Just had the same guy try it on me!

Recieved this morning from Campell........campelluck@gmail.com........concerning my WRX for Sale on Boost Classifieds.
