First time I have used Gumtree. Trying to sell a Sofa/Setee and was obviously delighted to receive an early response from Helena Barr (elenabarr) But when the following email arrived from her, I was immediately suspicious: Hi, I've sent the payment! My PayPal shows they've sent a confirmation email so check your email box. I have made collection arrangement but the courier need payment paid to their Home office to schedule collection date. But I'm away for work and unable visit a money gram shop to send it. I included £400 so you will help send £370 to the courier's Home office and use £30 for Moneygram fee, here is the details needed to send it at Moneygram. First Name: Babs Last Name: DANIEL Address: 11 Rotana Way, Sharjah Country: UAE You will receive £1800, kindly let me know once you've sent the £370 through money gram at Tesco this morning to the courier so they can schedule collection arrangement for the pick up. Many thanks I have now politely told her where to go. Similar messages also received from Nicola (mamaxtian02) and Amber (amberscott)
