This person sent me an SMS wanting to buy my car from Gumtree. He asked more for more interior pictures, when the last serving was and what my best price was. He also asked to only reply via email, however I did reply via SMS at first.

The emails went back and forth for a few rounds by which time I got suspicious and decided to search about scams. I found similar situations to this scam online.

I have decided to \'play\' along for now and I am changing the details of the ad to see if the scammer notices.

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.
