Had a text come through after advertising my vehicle on Gumtree from Gerard asking me to email him ASAP.. Which I did, this is the email reply...
Gerard <removed>: <removed>
I do really appreciate your response,The price of what am buying as
advertised is okay by me by offering £50 to hold it and make sure it
sold to me alone.. I will strongly like to make an outright purchase
of this immediately due to your Integrity as stated in your ad which
shown that your a real seller,I really love the condition of what am
buying but please for further assurance that this real and legit just
email me some pictures with final price along for it ASAP.. I may
sound rude,but please understand that i have to be caution of what am
buying as many untruthful seller are full online buy/sell nowadays.. I
would have come down myself for the inspection and make the
transaction done in person but due to the nature of my work i
couldn't, beside, get back to me with the following:
(1) How long have you had it?
(2) I will like to know the reason why you are selling it..
(3) Hope i'll enjoy it?
(4) What are the major problem of it?
Note that i'll be responsible for shipping and handling. I have
decided to use the program "Buyer and Seller Protection" offered by
PayPal Inc in order to make the transaction done fast cos it take 2-3
days business. Do bear with me and get back to me on time with your
PayPal account name and email or easily send an invoice to this same
email am using to communicate with you as its the same thing with my
PayPal also or better yet your sort code account name and numbers if
you dont have an account with PayPal as i can make the transfer via my
PayPal account to your nominated bank account since i have it linked
up with my bank account. I want only legit transactions!If you are not
aware of how they operate you should know that they will give both of
us proper protection as i have choose a non reversible payment method
while setting an account with them, you'll receive a confirmation
stated that the payment has being sent immediately.. As soon as
payment is confirmed by PayPal to your nominated bank account, my
mover would come down for the inspection and shipping handling,please
provide me your full name,Visible home address(street,city,postcode,
state) and your PayPal name and email address so that I can start
making the payment. as soon as i can.
Thanks and reply asap.

Just had Gérard [removed] trying his scam wanting to buy my camper van advertised on Gumtree. What a fool he must be to think anyone can be taken in by a badly written text & then overlong emails. DON'T give him any of your personal details

I have had the same problem with two people trying to scam me on gumtree.
Everyone beware of Sandi <removed> and Stephen <removed>.
They pretended they were interested in buying my car without even looking at it which is weird. Just a heads up !
