|  Gumtree NZOG buyer for saw on Gumtree I had an old printer saw for sale on gumtree in Australia.
About half an hour after the ad appeared I got an email asking if the saw was still for sale and if so to email husband on above email address.
I did so and guy Brat Wood negotiates, says he’s on the NZOG rig etc etc, obviously doesn’t know anything about the saw but pushes to complete the sale using PayPal or direct deposit.
I do a bit of a search on PayPal and NZOG scams and he’s still there asking me to send him details so he can ‘pay’ me. |

I was selling an item on Shpock, Laura S contacted me to confirm the deal of the item. Asked me to send an email to her Husband to continue with the sale. Michael mentioned he had throat cancer and wasn't able to collect the item. Asked me for my details to send the payment through, and also £100 to receive this money.
Scam EmailHello,
I am interested...Please remove the advert and consider it sold as I am keen to buy and pay your full asking price, Sadly I will not be able to come personally to view or collect it due to house bound, went through throat cancer surgery and can't talk much but i will be ok soon. I have an agent that will help me to pick it up at your preferred location after you have received your money and I'll pay you via PayPal and pick up will start after you have cash your money ..if that is ok with you.
Where is the pick up location so that i can inform the agent about it now send me your registered PayPal email and name,so i can make arrangements for payment I can also transfer it from to your bank account. Kindly get back to me with your Sort code, Account number, and Account name.
Regards
Michael
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.
