I listed antique chest of drawers on Gumtree
Almost immediately had a response from a Sarah Maynes with similar pattern as others
This is her response to my add
Hi mate, thanks for the reply. I am okay with the price. I have read the ad and it's okay with me. Please ignore any other request from other buyers regarding this sale as I am highly interested. I don't mind adding an extra $50 for a quick sale for you to be sure I am interested in the immediate purchase. My work does not permit me to come for the inspection (very busy and currently out of town). I 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 via the fastest and secure way to pay online i.e PayPal, please get back to me with your PayPal 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) and get it set up after you have set it up I will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with PayPal so as to put the money through. Alternatively, I can also pay you via PayPal wire transfer method into your bank account, all I will need is your Account name, Bsb and Account number. Does it have any history I should be aware of and why are you selling if you don't mind me asking?. I have a pick-up agent that will come and pick up after I have made the payment so no shipping included. Please also include your contact address for pick up in your reply.
It didn't feel right so Googled name and this topic came up
Yup out of town so cant come and see item
Yup can send her 'Agent' to collects and Yup offered $50 more for me to not sell to anyone else
I sent back message to say that I had discovered Scamming history with Sarah Maynes and I was not going to sell to her
Havent heard back since
Funny about that
