Contacted by text mobile number was 82646, by a Jeff Hibbs saying he wanted to purchase an expensive item I had listed on Gumtree. He asked I send the price and pictures to an email address HibbsJeff@bluemail.org.
The price was clearly listed on Gumtree and all photographs of the item.
I fear this is an attempted scam of some kind, if I had actually replied to the text message received.
The spoken English and wording of the text was also very dubious

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.
