The text was from Jerome asked Is your ad still available for sale? easier to contact me on gtbsky01@gmail.com What the condition and firm price. I responded via email with a lower than listed offer to commence negotiation and got this response.

Advertised for lounge suite pick-up only, on Gumtree. Within 2 days Scammer emailed interest in buying for listed price as it seemed reasonable considering what he has seen lately. Uses paypal to ask for Western Union money transfer payment for goods delivery prior to full payment.
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.
