I have a vehicle advertised on Gumtree, and last night got an SMS on my phone asking if my item on Gumtree was still for sale and to please reply to the email address above.
Regrettably I answered, but the phone number seemed suspicious. After I checked to find it was a Toll free number from California, I knew I had a live one.
Then I got the email below, and straight away recognised it for a scam.
So I googled "Chelsea Moore Scam" and this page was one that came up.
I therefore Copied and included this URL in my response, suggesting they have a look, then kindly asked them to find another sucker.

Ive attached the email I recieve which contains a lot more detail. However, it had the same Pay Pal request...and refered to the same project etc. I tried calling the the project information line to confirm that Glenn Dawood worked on the project as an OPS Manager but Im still awaiting on a response. The email sounds dubious....
Thanks for the response,I would have loved to call you directly but due to the nature i work with New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) and we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kupe project work, we do not have access to phone at the moment,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.
I am buying this for my first son who just graduated on top of his class at Charles Darwin University in NT ,He studied Building Design & Architecture. I want it to be the perfect graduation gift for him and am making it a surprise package ,Does it have any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don't mind my asking. I don't mind adding an extra $200.00 for you just to take down the posting..I am already in talks with freighters that will handle the pickup and delivery .I will really appreciate if you can email more info
Due to the nature of my work i am a very busy person working all day, am a (Operating Manager) am presently on-board, i don't have access to my bank account online as am not with my credit card details here but i have my ANZ bank account link up with my PayPal account so I will be paying you through PayPal.But If you don't have a PayPal account you can easily set up one just log on to (www.paypal.com) and sign up as its very easy. Kindly get back to me with your PayPal name and email so i can proceed with the payment immediately and contact the courier agent who will come to pick it up and deliver it in NT for my son .Await your reply .
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.
