fairly much the same as the other report even down to the address 12/56 sixth av maylands wa 6051 and licence number 029861538 I am selling my car on gumtree and also via finda and have received several texts from obvious scammers most of them just stop after I tell them that the only payment I will accept is cash or a bank cheque and if in cheque form the car doesn't leave my property until the monies have cleared that seems to put them off. but if its one thing that I have learnt is that unless the phone number has a +61 in front of it, it is a scam because I am not selling a rare car.

similar to BillOwen in that Im trying to sell my car on gumtree and tradingpost and after I called him a scammer and said I would not sell to him unless I meet him forst he sent this
'My address is 12/56 sixth av maylands 6051 Perth wa,My licence no: is 029861538..With the issue of my details,transferring the name of ownership and signing of all paperwork will be done by the pick up agent so you don't have to worry about that.,as soon as you send me your PayPal email i will make the payment and you will be notify in your email that the payment have been made.Very easy.For example my PayPal email is davidbryant07@live.com.au Send me your PayPal email now so i can pay in'
Not gunna happen! am now ignoring all his emails!

Similar thing. I am selling a motorbike on Gumtree, Quokka, and bikesales. After an initial message and reply from someone who couldnt decide if their name was Bill Owen or Becky Lawrence, I basically said I would need to see the buyer in person. This is the same guy, not just from the name, but also pay attention to the licence number quoted.

Highly suspicious and found the email address mentioned on Scamdex. No one buys a car sight unseen. Told him cash only and no Paypal.
