Got a call about 15mins after I posted the ad for my car. Then a message with an email address "Jasonmaxwell2010@gmail.com" to respond to. I did respond as there were little details and couldn't tell if it were a scammer, to get this response 1 minute later. mmmm I wonder if this is a scam... These arsewipes should be shoot!!

Thanks for getting back,i'm cool with the price likewise the condition as described on the advert,i work with New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) and we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kupe project.We do not have access to phone at the moment and that's why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.Regarding the payment,i will be paying you through PayPal linked up with my westpac bank account,please get back to me with your paypal details so i can process the payment,you can alternatively send your bsb acct name and number if you have no PayPal acct.I have also contacted my courier who will come for pick up and deliver it to my place in Darwin after the whole fund has been cleared into your account.

Hello,
Thanks for the detailed message,
I agree with the price and i'm satisfied with the condition too. I am buying it internationally to Canada and i would pay you with PayPal as it is fast & easy for me to pay with right now, don't worry about paypal charges, i will take care of that and about the transportation, i shall arrange for a transport agent to come to your home for the pickup .

If we have a deal, you should send me your info requested below if you have an account already with paypal:-

Name :
PayPal Email :
Mobile Number:
Total Price :

or you should send me a PayPal money request, so that i can proceed with the transfer i will also add the 3.9% to the payment for the Paypal charges and then we can arrange for my transport agent to come for the pick up, after you receive your money. I will also need your home address too for the pick up to be arranged.

i expect your reply soon .

Me:

You can make a money Transfer to me via Western Union, so i can pick up the money asap,  and then we can arrange for your shipping agent to pick up the Speaker systems at my Home Adress.
When you have sendt me the money, I will go the Local Western Union store to Pick up the Money. You will get a MTCN-Number and you can send me a E-Mail with the Number, and i will go to the WU store.
I dont use Paypal Because i have lost some money there once.

Kind Regards

2 Days Later Me:

'm still waiting to hear from you regarding the Speakers.

Reply:

I can only pay through PayPal because i currently do not have access to my bank account because i don't use internet banking and i can't get to the bank at the moment due to the nature of my job. I work as a marine biologist and most of the time i'm on sea. I can pay from my paypal account with my credit card which is already attached to my account,which is why i want to pay with PayPal.

PayPal is very easy to set up, just get to www.paypal.com and get an account , after you have it set up, i will only need your paypal email address to transfer the money...


Me:

You know what. If you want to by the Speakers you can tranfer the money to me throug western union. Its online and easy to pay with credit card. Thats the only way im gonna make this deal with you. Sorry.

Me:

Have you ever Googled your own Phone Number and this Mail adress.. Try That. :-)
By the way, your Original IP Adress are found, Located and you are Reported to the Police.

So i understand the deal is OFF,

Have a nice day

Every time I post an ad on Gum tree from racecars, road cars or car parts, I get a message within 30 minutes or so from this number requesting the best price be emailed to a gmail account. They never reply to text when I tell them to get lost (to put it politely). Usually it's 'Andey', to day with was Andey & Tim, but also john gets in on the action. The funny thing is that what I am selling is of no use to anyone outside of Aus, USA & NZ. I would have thought that a Telco would have sourced this number and disconnected it at least, or trace where it is buying credit from either online or in person.. Would love to see the police get all up in their [***] and bust them!

Potential scam. Says called lisa portah.

Hi,

I have just had a message notification come thruogh on my phone. I currently hav a vehicle for sale on various sites including GUMTREE.

The number is listed the same as above but the name used this time is lisa Portah. email address is lisaportah101@gmail.com. message reads:

from : M K is the campervan/caravan on gumtree still for sale , email me to lisaportah101@gmail.com.

got my suspisions up straight away because of the non specific enquiry and then the code on the phone number.

also have received another enquiry on the same vehicle on the same number name was Richard lewendon. email address given was richylew01@gmail.com.

again wanted to buy the vehicle using a agent, without seeing the vehicle first.

are these people really that stupid to keep using the same number on their enquires.

has anyone contact gmail to get emails wiped?

another scammer from Australia

I've just had the same message from 'Lisa Portah' in reply to my motor home advert on Gumtree. Thank goodness for my daughter checking it out for me!

Nice Hearing back from you..I'm quite satisfied with the condition and price. I will be paying the PayPal charges from my account and i will be paying directly into your PayPal account without any delay,and i hope you have a paypal account. If you have one already, just send me the address to send it to, which is the email address you use for it or you can send me a paypal money request, so once i receive the details i will go ahead with the payment through PayPal and then i will contact my shipping company after you get the payment. I will need your home address for it to be Picked Up by the Shipping Company

Hi All

Thanks....
Await your reply

Just had exactly the same email from 'Matt Taylor' re a car add I posted on Gumtree.
That courier is sure going to be busy getting all that gear to Darwin…..wish I knew a way to reverse scam!

And now one from pitt.ben264@gamil.com……from the same number so of course it sits under the message above! Losers. Seriously, does anyone know how to scam a scammer? That could be fun. Anybody got any friends in Nigeria?

Beware anthonyabbott@hotmail.com.au and adamthomason@hotmail.com.au, in this case through bikeexchange.com.au - scammer.

Had a text from this number regarding a car I am selling on ebay. My partner showed me the text I said don't bother replying it don't look like they are in this country, googled the number and found this website. He asked me to email him on richylew01@gmail.com

Receiving messages from Janet Maxwell on this number re car we have for sale. Scam

This person gets around, today their name is Andey and they want to buy our car which is listed on Gumtree,  they will even pay us $300 to take the listing off straight away. They are a sailor at sea so therefore can't access their bank account but have already organised for a courier to pick the car up. Mmm, these people are so annoying. Is there not something that Gumtree can do? I know the best thing is to ignore them but seriously, how many people have actually paid into their account and lost money. Something needs to be done.

Hi, I have a campervan for sale on Gumtree and this morning I received a text from +61428465117 allegedly from Maria asking "is your van still available for sale? what is the lowest price of it. email me pls (Bertonscott02@gmail.com)
I was alerted by the +6 prefix which I didnt recognise and found this website as a result of googling the number. I was going to delete the text anyway but I'm very pleased there are sites like this.
I agree that Gumtree or Google should trace these people and take criminal action against them.

Same thing - two messages from different people/email addresses from the same Australian number with reference to a gumtree sale.

Only want to pay via PayPal. Useless wastes of skin.

When I did a search on 9 Moil Crescent Moil NT 0810, Australia the link to this website came up.. Interesting..
BEWARE it could be the same person.
Received an email from Tana O. Wilson (tnassec278@live.com) of 9 Moil Crescent Moil NT 0810, Australia within minutes after we had our car for sale on gumtree."
after my first response i received this email from Tana:
"Hi mate,thanks for the reply.I am okay with the price.I have read the ad and it's okay by me.My work does not permit me to come for the inspection (very busy and currently out of town).Would have loved to call but our base right now is bad so we can get along via e-mail. I will be paying you through PayPal,please get back to me with your PayPal name and email so i can proceed with the payment immediately and if you don't have one it's very easy to set up visit (www.paypal.com.au).I will also like you to remove the Advert online and consider me as your favourite buyer.''
I have sent my paypal account then I received the following email from Tana:
''I was just about to make the payment when I encountered this problem. The pick up agent said I must pay for the freight fee before they can schedule a pick up time. I've been charged $950 for pick up and delivery. The payment must be sent to their Headquarters in China where they confirm all commission payments made from any part of the world and the only form of payment they accept is Western Union Money Transfer.I tried to pay online (www.westernunion.com) but it requires a credit card to make the transfer online which i don't have access to and there is no post office here on rig ,I will add the $950 to the money am sending to your Paypal account. Once am done making the full payment, kindly help me forward the freight fee to the agent's Headquarters in China through western union money transfer. I would have done it myself but I can't send money through that means due to my present location and there is no post office on sea.(western union section in most post offices)... I'm a little incapacitated but I'll appreciate your help here. I will proceed with the payment now and email you once am done''
I'm yet to receive a response..

same as all the above, same number (0428465117) but diff name. the name i got was janet maxwell and email address was dvdscott9@gmail.com .

the same clown tried it with me the other week, only with a different name and e-mail address...but same number.
