The person first texted me about my listings on gumtree from an unlisted number and was asked to email at jerrywhit121@gmail.com. When I emailed him he made enquiries which sounded genuine.
I didn't feel it was genuine when I got a reply from him today. This is what it read:
3 seater recliner - 300 quid
Table and 4 chairs - 40 quid i want this


Thanks for your mail and am satisfy with the add and the listed price, I am ready to buy it now for my son as a surprise promise gift,And due to the nature of my work,phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding it.i would be glad to pay for it as soon as possible though i will not be available to come for an inspection due to my tight schedule.Kindly get back to me with the following questions below:
get back to me with your paypal email or you can log on to www.paypal.com and register an account if you dont have a paypal it is easier, safe and secure.

1) Are you the Owner?
2) Pick up Location?
3) Your PayPal Email to effect the payment
4)asking price once again for confirmation?

I would be glad to make the payment immediately through PayPal so kindly get back to me with your PayPal ID. You need not to worry yourself about title transfer and shipment,i will instruct the shipping company to handle that therefore in order to complete the transaction do get back to me with your PayPal ID and total cost so that I can make the payment asap. I will be waiting for your reply!
Thanks and God bless

I sensed something was fishy and looked up his email id and found this site. I have reported him to action fraud and gumtree.

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.
