These scammers seem to be lurking in a Gumtree website. Telling same story to the people they're trying to scam. First they text you from a hidden number, then ask you to email them.
Scam EmailThanks for your response,
I want you to consider this a deal as i am willing to pay your full asking price! i actually want to buy it for a family member who is urgently in need of it, i have checked through your posting and i'm fully satisfied with it.
Unfortunately, i would not be able to come personally to view/collect, i work offshore as an instructor on a oil rig so i don't have time at all, but like i said i am 100% OK with the advert. With the issue of transferring of details,ownership and all paperworks will be done by the courier service company so you don't have to worry about that.
I will pay you via PayPal once you are ready and send my courier agent to collect after you have fully received your money as that is the only means of payment available to me at the moment.
I will contact the courier agent now so please get back to me with a suitable collection time.
