Overpayment Scam
Gumtree |  +1 gumtree dirtbike scammer Says that he is living in NZ but returning to Darwin and wants to buy my dirtbike sight-unseen.
Would prefer to talk via email as he is at work.
Received multiple messages trying to negotiate, after I replied to the first message where he offered $7,500 for my bike, I got another message from him offering more which lead me to google his phone number. |

First he text me asking if my Bike is still available, if its been dropped, my best price, said he is ready to buy & wanted me to email him close up pics. (Which i had already on my add) along with all the other info. Then insisted on emails as he was at work and couldn't text/call. He also offered more than i was asking!
ALAN GRAY EMAILED ME:
I'm ready to pay $2,500 for the bike, I work in NZ but i'm moving back home and I need the bike once i'm back to Darwin hence me reason for buying. I want you to give me your assurance that the bike has not been in any crash, everything runs well though you need to understand that i do not have anyone to view the bike for me.
So i ask you take the ad off gumtree because i'm ready to make payment for the bike if you send me your bank details.
Thanks,
Alan.
I then offered him to pay via Paypal. He still insist i give him my Bank Details. What a wanker!
