Received text message from no. 82646? Asked if camera was still for sale and best offer.
Sent back a price and he said he would pay for post to handle. Added on 30 euros for post which I thought was suspicious enough.
Thats when I thought to check it out and ended up here.
Thanks for being around to help.

Put a add up on donedeal.ie this morning selling a PS vita,i got a reply by text message from 82646 about a hour later saying: U still have game for sale what's your best price? contact me on brouder.declan1@yahoo.com .so i decided to reply via E-mail with this: Im only selling the bundle as one, i wont go too low from original asking price as its a bargain as it is. just have a question for you what is the story with the number you text me on never seen it before? he replyed with this E-Mail: (Am okay with the price of the item.I will like the shipping to be handle by Post Office so i will add up the shipping cost,also I will be doing the payment Paypal money transfer. do send me your PayPal Email ID with Name or send me paypal money request.
To proceed with the payment for the item.
So i wait to read from you soon)
I first noticed he didnt answer my question about the random phone number and he wanted to buy the item at full cost and without further inspection, a little suspicious so tryed the number on google no result tryed the e-mail and ended up here thank god for sites like these i almost gave in to this scam and im normaly so cautious Thanks!!!

Looks like the same guy-texted me about buying my wedding dress. He then emailed me and said he'd buy it through paypal. Thought it was a bit odd that he wanted to buy it without seeing it or any further photos so googled his email address and found this site. Thanks guys!

I have an add on Gumtree Ireland for an IPhone, I got a text message showing interest and wanted to know the last selling price with the email address for return. We agreed a sale price and gave my email address for PayPal payment. When I got the address for postage I became suspicious.
Name: O Tunde. Address:# 50 Lafenwa Street City: Abeokuta State: Ogun State Country: Nigeria Zip Code: 23403
I'm waiting on the fake PayPal payment to arrive as we speak. Hope this helps somebody out.
