Gumtree |  +5 Attempted Camera purchase scam by an "Oceanographer" called Polly Wright "Polly Wright" claimed to be an oceanographer and wanted to buy my advertised camera for her daughter as a graduation present in China. This person claimed to have made a transfer to my PayPal account but nothing arrived in my account. There was however, two emails purportedly from PayPal stating that funds would be transferred to my account once I lodged a despatch receipt. The problem for "Polly" is that PayPal don't work this way. I will copy over "Polly" last email below;

This loser "Vera Williams" "Verano Williams" "Dylan Williams" with address Dongfeng Nanlunanshili jujia 16, Beijing, China, 100016 tried to buy my laptop. They said they had transferred the money, and told me to check for a receipt from PayPal. Obviously this scammer isn't really sharp as their bogus email didn't even get past my servers spam filter as there was no PayPal email.
Same deal as listed here, claiming their daughter was getting the laptop as a surprise gift (although they used Dylan Williams as the daughters name) for doing well at University. They wanted the laptop "gift wrapped with a note" and sent via Australian Express Post.
Scam EmailJust the usual Gmail source email.
