Same exact scammer, just now, the same person tried to purchase wardrobes via a Paypal payment via an ad on Gumtree.
They called themselves Angela <removed> and wanted us to send £95 to Western union for the courier KARL <removed> from Coventry cv2 3fs.
My mum was trying to shift some wardrobes she didn't want anymore, so I agreed to put them on Gumtree and Shpock for her. Within an hour this person contacted her mobile by text message and wanted them, from up in Glasgow no less, (mum is near Colchester) and to pay via PayPal. She only texted from this landline number <removed>.

She said she was deaf and Ill.
Bloody Scammers! I sent the email to spoof@paypal.co.uk.
