He wanted to buy my sofa on gumtree, he said he was very interested and he would love to buy it for his cousin, so he asked me to take down the ad and he would transfer money to me via pay pal, then he sent me £345 on my PayPal (which was a total fake email for paypal) saying I have received £345. And now it's secure until I pay £245 cash into union western for his agent to pick up the sofa. Total scam, and he talked about having throat cancer and he was house bound.

My car is for sale on Gumtree, received a text via the Booksy service "Hello, I am inquiring about the car listed for sale? Kindly get back to me with details on my personal email only on mic.elliot12@gmail.com" I sent an email thanking him for his enquiry and asking what details he wanted and got the following reply... going down the same route as the emails on this thread, and others.

Hi Micheal,

Thanks for your email. I have got a bigger company car now, hence selling this car.

One of the back tyre & windscreen wipers needs to be changed soon, apart from that there is no issue with the car and it is in good condition. The previous owners did very little miles. I got this car after my graduation as well 2 years back. I think you can check full history of the car online on this website.

https://www.gov.uk/get-vehicle-information-from-dvla

I did full service last month and MOT was passed on September. I have got full service history. If you wish you can send someone to test drive the car.

Whereabout is your son's place? I'm currently in Bourne, Lincolnshire. If its not too far from my place, i can drop the car down your place. Or i'm absolutely fine with courier guys picking it up.

Paypal payment is fine with me. If you are interested and happy to go ahead please let me know. I will do full clean up and keep it ready.

If you like to discuss further, please don't hesitate to call me on the below number.

Many Thanks
