After a posted a few item on Gumtree I got a text saying "do you still have the item available and to e-mail annelllson118@gmail.com"
- At first I thought it was a bit weird, because she didn't clarify what the item was and considering I only posted the item on sale 5 hours ago. Then I get another e-mail:
"What other items are you selling"?
- Again I thought that was a bit strange, but thought nothing of it as I am new to gumtree. Then I get another email:

- After sending the e-mail, I decided to search more information on this person and found this page WITH THE EXACT SAME E-MAIL! So I reported the email and rang my bank.
