I have just been involved in trying to sell my son's toys on Gumtree and emailed by a woman by the name of Jennifer Short who claims to be an Air Cmdr in RAF!! She says she is involved with training recruits for SERE?? Too much information and alarm bells rang in my head but i thought I'd go along with it and see where it goes. Well when she offered to pay £105 to have an item worth £150 collected the bells really started to ring. Western Union seemed to be the problem she said and she would ask me to pay the shipping. I then receive d an email supposedly from Paypal saying they were holding the money pending my payment to Nigeria of the shipping costs. I questioned why it couldn't be delivered by collect+ she said she preferred to use a courier as it was next day! If it is being sent to Nigeria it certainly won't be delivered next day. I am now being hassled for progress. Be warned, if it sounds too good to be true - you can be sure it is!! So glad I read up on this via your forum.
