Classified Ads Scam
Gumtree |  +5 Scam attempt on gumtree ad I posted an ad to gumtree selling a dining table and chairs. Potential buyer sent a message via gumtree asking for my email address. Then i recieved an email saying he was working offshore for NZOG do couldnt contact me by phone and asked for my bank details. Also in email said would arrange a courier to pick up.
I was suspicious so googled name for scam alert and saw he has tried to rip other people off by getting them to pay for delivery etc.

I posted a bedroom suite for sale on Gumtree and recived an inquiry asking to reply directly back to an email. Which unfortunately initially did. Gut instinct was to google the name and email body which showed up scammers.
Had the same as the previous emails and within 10mins of the 1st emails had subsequent inquiries asking to reply directly to an email address. Suspicious as the names varied between Kat, Kaite & Kathleen.
Thanks a lot for the email. I am away at sea at the moment,i work with New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG) and we are presently offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kapo project. We do not have access to phone at the moment,its 5days off and 25days on,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility. Where is it located at the moment?
I won't be able to come for the inspection due to the nature of my work and i would have called but our calling is restricted.Regarding the payment,pls get back to me with your final asking price and your paypal details so i can process the payment,you can alternatively send your bsb and acct number if you have no paypal acct.I have also contacted my courier who will come for pick up after the whole fund has been cleared into your acct.
Await your reply

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.
