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. |
