Was contacted by text asking me to email. I did so and was offered nearly twice the listed price for a watch I had listed on Gumtree. I have copied the email below. What made me see the light was that she claimed to be purchasing the watch for her son, it is a ladies watch.
Hope this helps people.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
