Gumtree Scam "Adams Mark"

[Schuasda]

I am trying to sell my car on Gumtree right now and recieved a Scam buyer request from a guy who calls himself "Adams Mark"

First i got a text from "Tamigo" (the actual number doesn´t show):

"Hi it Adams, I want to know if your  car is still for sale? contact me via email annualmarkson 'at' gmail.com with your final ONO."

After sending an email to that adress i immidiately recieved an answer in which he basically said he couldn´t inspect the car himself but offers 350$ extra if i take the ad down and give him all my paypal account details (i´m surprised he didn´t ask for my password right away...).

The email was full of typos and just sounded very weird which in general should make you suspicious.

I hope i could help somebody and stopped "Adams" from scamming anyone.

Take care and don´t believe everything on the internet.

Hi, I'm selling my car too and I received a text from "Tamigo" saying the same thing but there name was Adrian Banks and asking me to email my final price. I haven't emailed them and just saw your post. Thank you, I'll be steering clear!
