Got an email from alexbennett001@outlook.com
Name: Alex

Interested buying a car with pick up private courrier, was requested to give banking details, paypal.
Thank you for this website!

Had same scam and gave bank Bsb and account number, can they use this in anyway

Not unless they have your verbal password to withdraw your cash at the bank, you have set up a verbal password on your account i hope and besides that the details would be pretty useless without a copy of your signature. The only way that could get at your cash is by purchasing goods online where they would give your account details to a company, shop etc. but hopefully they don't have your name and address and you should be alright but personally I would contact your bank ASAP and put a hold on your account until you feel safe and secure again. Mate, i've had these scum bags message me every time i advertise on Gumtree which has been 5 times in the last 2 months, beware of salooxy7@gmail.com  sharonhair001@yahoo.com and jamesharris042@hotmail.com
Same phone number, same parasites. It's a shame they don't pickup and answer as i'd buy a whistle and blow it as hard as could, from the bit of research i've done the number they use has been traced to somewhere in India. (typical)

Same number text me regarding my bike on Gumtree

Scammer!!!!!

Yep just had a Ben Pitt try to "Buy " my BMW motorcycl the same way via NZOG offshore story
He gave up when as well as his bogus details I requested a photcopy drivers licence or Passport to verify his ID.
Sounded fishy from the start.

Same exact number, with a new address (liampowell@hotmail.com.au).
Even went as far as saying that he already deposited and that he recieved an email from paypal saying that i should called paypal (given a non paypal number) to rectify my details. The next sentence followed with mentioning moneygram instead of paypal by accident.

She asked me to reply to daniel.jack11@outlook.com, because she was at work. ...but I came here, I read this and I did nothing, of course! Thanks a lot!

Hello, I am glad to know you still have it, I interested in buying it and i would be glad to know if you have a Maintenance records? do you work on it yourself? are you the only owner? ever crashed it? why are you selling? whats your target amount for it? I would be able to view it, can you assure me that its in a good condition and can i have a recent picture of it? Hope to read from you again. Thanks. Rhys.

it was ok, but:

I agree with your price and i will be adding the 3.9% PayPal surcharge to the total amount i will be paying you. So i will be paying directly into your PayPal account without any delay, just send me your PayPal address below.

Or you can send me a paypal money request.

So once i receive the details i will go ahead with the payment immediately and then i will contact my shipping company after you get the payment. I will need your home address for the merchandise to be Picked Up by the Shipping Company

cheers.

WARNING!! SCAM!! SCAM!! SCAM!!!

After advertising your car, the loser scammers send you an SMS stating: "Is you car still available and what is the firm price? Reply by email peteroliver104@gmail.com" Also from "Ken" and "barbara.rebecca18@gmail.com"... I will probably get more SMS but I will hunt them down as I have the resources, working in government... :-)
