I put up two items for sale in Gumtree. I got a text message showing interest with an email id. The replies to this message were blocked. So I sent an email to this lady. She wanted best price for the items, my paypal email and registered name. Once the payment goes through, she will then send a courier agent to pick up the items costing around £400/-. I replied to her email giving her the best price. She replied stating 'okay good' followed by the same content she sent me earlier inspite of giving her the best price. This made me think if this is a scam. Any such experiences? is it safe to share email address and registered name?
