Gumtree |  +1 Tom Brown Tom Brown approached me to buy a necklace I had advertised on Gum Tree , he said it was a birthday gift for his friend and to send into an address in China and he was an "Aussie working on an oil rig in China)
The necklace is very unusual and rare when I asked him if his girlfriend knew who Dinh Van was and if she asked for the necklace he said he didn't know...this set off alarm bells why would someone buy a necklace for over $1100 for someone who didn't know who the designer was.....
He told me to send the necklace to the below address and payment had been paid to my pay pal account which after over 48 hours payment still has not been received.
Name: Uti Tema
Address: Chuam Mei Daxue
Beijing Zip code 100024
Phone number 13041207983
I have not heard from him since I questioned payment. He is a scammer and trying to rip of genuine buyers and innocent people....do not engage with this buyer |

I listed an expensive item on gumtree and someone by the name of Ellin Armit contacted me asking me to send the watch to a friend for a birthday gift as he is currently working overseas on an Oil Rig. He asked to pay by paypal for his protection then sent me a fake paypal email stating the money had been sent but paypal would not release the money until I had shown documentation of postage. This rang alarm bells so I forwarded the email to paypal and they confirmed it to be a fake email. He also demanded that I gift wrap the item for him and write a happy birthday message with it. Who on gumtree would demand such a thing?? He asked that the item be sent to:
Name: Igo Payne.
Address: Chuan Mei Daxue
State: Beijing
City: Beijing,
Country: China
Zip code:100024
Phone Number: 13041207983
Sellers beware!!
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.
