Linda Sabuba gumtree scam 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
Linda Sabuna
Email Address:
lindasabuba611@gmail.com
I had a dress on eBay worth $500 which "Linda" responded to via text message at 8:17am saying, " Hello,is your Dress still available for sale?advice on your firm price with present condition via my private email address (lindasabuba611@gmail.com )"
There was no number, it just came up with her name.
Thinking it was a real potential buyer, I begin emailing the email address. After a couple of emails and after giving her my bank details, she then said she'd transferred me money via PayPal that she wanted me to then pay into a different account. When it said she was to pay $450 for a courier I realised it was a scam and called them out on it. No emails since.

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.
