Posted an ad on gumtree.
Received a text on the phone number I had listed as a contact number. It read:
\"Hi mate, I found your post on Gumtree. Please write me back on nswmarsarno at gmail.com if you still have the....\"
I emailed them asking what they wanted to know and they replied with:

\"Okay, Let me know if the price is negotiable. I am from Cape Byron,
New South Wales and I can see that you are not local so I will just
give you my daughter address to send it to her directly she just got
transferred to China with her fiance. My only option right now will be
paypal. because I prefer to use paypal for most online transactions,
You can easily get money in your paypal and transfer it into your bank
account let me know how much you want me to pay for it I mean whats
the least you can go?\"

Immediately knew it was a scam. Don\'t waste your time with this person.

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.
