Good luck finding these lowlifes.

Holy Lord, I am guessing you got caught out as your education is non existent, do you know how to spell basic words? chec - cheque, quind - guess this must mean kind????

Janet maxwell... Unfortunately it took me a great deal of correspondence before I caught on... But not before I gave away any money! Exactly the same emails from gumtree. Ended up them telling me they'd report me to authorities!

And look out for the paypal emails that could almost pass as real to some people and cause concern but are completely fake. Forward all contact to spoof@paypal.com

Text message via number above; Sent from Janet maxwell, is your vehicle still for sale? What is the lowest price of it, get back to me through my email address (jasonmaxwell2010(at)gmail.com) email only.
My reply; Hi there last price 9,500 Cheers Hine.
Janet's reply;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 off shorein New Zealand Taranaki basin on Kupe project, it goes on to PayPal details to courier driver that will deliver to Darwin for buyer.
I await your reply.

My reply; Hi there you can make payment to your courier driver and will take the rest from there, I like to see a face and know who and how I'm dealing with on the sale of my car, you don't need to justify to me on you whereabouts.
Keen buyers ring and arrange viewing,
Sorry there just too much scammers out there and I prefer cash in my hand.
Cheers
Hine

Had this enquiry come through this morning, he was responding for an ad I posted yesterday on Gumtree for a sale of a car. He said his name was Steve and could I send more images of the inside of the vehicle, he was working in New Zealand and blah blah blah, send through the details by criket4ever@gmail.com Why do they bother??!!!!

Yeah, got a text from this number, in reply to a gumtree add, searched for the number and email: timvid68@gmail.com

Can't believe this scammer is using the same phone number for so long. Just goes to show that the police can't do much about his style of scam/crime, still, I'll report the details to various sites and agencies in the hope that they catch this dickphead one day and remove his ability to procreate, if you catch my drift.

I just got the same message about my van but lucky I didn't fall for it so not happy why do people think they have the right to try and take things that don't belong to them.

Enquiring about my van for sale

I just got the same one, except it was actually sent from Rebecca Barbara apparently. Was suspicious of how this text was laid out so did a google search on the email... thank god I found this page!

hey guys i have this matthew taylor (mtmattaylor@gmail.com) contacting me about my car what should i do?

Same here today!

had the same on Gumtree, a stand out scam, language focus on paypal not on the car he was buying

same mobile number as other here

same number - Kellie Estrella. . . think I'm gonna have some fun with them hehehe . . .

Same experience here from ericfrank800@gmail.com. Googled his email as it sounded dodgy and going numerous pages explaining this scam. Got the following email. Sellers beware!!


Thank you for getting back to me..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..i will like to look forward from you soon

The name he is using this name he is JOE OLIVER.And the email address is joliver488@gmail.com and babara.Rebecca 18@gmail.com

I got this exact same message. Didnt know was a scammer, so i emailed it. And now have since seen that its a scam. Is my money/personal details in trouble now since i have emailed back saying yes car still is for sale and for 'x' amount????

Got the same emailed jargon as everyone else in reply to an SMS from +61 428 465 117 responding to an advert I have on carsales.com.au.

The email went into great detail saying the car was a gift for his son who just graduated on top of his class from Charles Darwin University studying building, design & architecture.  Said he'd contacted a shipping company to transport the car from VIC to NT. Said price wasn't an issue.

Alarm bells started ringing because my car's a girly car - started thinking why would someone buy a girly car for their son?  Also, surely there are more suitable cars in the NT to save shipping costs.  Not to mention paying so much money to buy a car, sight unseen!

He asked for more info on the car.  What more could I give?  I certainly wasn't going to give any personal details.

Started doing some research and came across this...

The name used is Desmond Gan with the email address of desmdgan87@gmail.com

Thought it sounded too good to be true!

After more thought ... I thought I'd have a little fun with him - replied to his email requesting personal information about him for Vic Roads & NT Transport before I will give him bank details.  Let's see what his reply will be...
