Hi Guys I was just wondering if all you who have been agreeing with me over the past 2 weeks would all report what is going on here with Gumtree and the fraudulent ads for dog ETC, to www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog because if we all do it they will take notice and investigate.
Thanks for listening to my ravings  |

| It hardly seems a challange, quick search and replace (with nothing) on the four dozen ads with a 12n3.com link a the bottom on each section today should help, then they can finish off all the budurl.com junk from yesterday. |

Having just reported another nearly whole page of scam ads I was woundering, if you cannot stop the scammers in the first place why can't you when they have been reported stop them ever being able to post again??????????????????????
As is stands at the moment it looks like you do not care about the people who come on here looking for things to buy. Im sure that is not the case but it looks like it. |

| A new twist to the dog scam ads now they are selling mini versions of big dogs that do not have a mini version. Please Gumtree Take note . Youare still not doing anything at all to reduce or get rid of thsi Problem |

I just looked at the gumtree pets London page and they looked genuine
One point is that the warning needs to be made bigger on the page
the
Beware of overseas sellers wanting to ship animals. See Stay Safe for more tips.
is not big enough to make you notice it properly |

So glad that I didn't have any problems when I was looking for my mut
Perhaps it would be better if they had to put a borough rather than just london as that would screw them over |
