I received a text from"GumtreeAD" but it didn't have a number attached.
The text read: "Katty will like to know if your listed camera is still on for sale if yes Kindly get back to her with the confition and firm price on kattmoore121@gmail.com"
I was suspicious straight away as I had not received any activity on my Gumtree Account.
I emailed the address and asked "Katty" to please get in contact with me directly through Gumtree if she genuinely wants the Camera that i was selling, and instead of doing that, she replied to the email the following: "Thanks for the reply, I will like to buy it for my kid who is getting married very soon.I am interested and am okay with the price.i would have love to call in person but we have call restriction due to bad weather condition our satellite server has been down.i will be paying you through PayPal or transferring the money from my paypal wire bank transfer to your bank account,pls get back to me with your PayPal details or you can alternatively send your bsb account name and number if you have no PayPal account, so i can proceed with the payment into any of the two and I estimated the shipping cost via Australian post which is about $100 to ship it over to my kid in Beijing,China. I await your reply"
I have almost been scammed this way before and i know a few people that have been also, so i knew straight away this was a scam. PayPal doesn't "release" funds after a tracking number has been provided. I have reported the scammer to Gumtree.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
I received an email asking if the ring I was selling could be shipped to China and the would pay the extra money. I had an email from a fakepale message stating the money was in my account ready for payment when tracking no received. I did not receive payment and I lost my $1499 ring. So disappointed.

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.
