I have wasted the good part of today corresponding with the SAME TWO SCAMMERS while looking for a flat on Gumtree. I knew the flats and prices sounded too good to be true! The names/emails used are:
rose.kent1@googlemail.com
slervoy@yahoo.com
They write in broken English and say they are "Professional" and attending a stock exchange seminar in Birmingham and don't want to make it down to London to show their property unless they are guaranteed you are interested. They then ask you to prove you have enough funds by making a Western Union transfer to a friend and then sending them the receipt (and be sure to include the MTCN #)....Oh, and they mention that they don't like TIME WASTERS .....huh, ironically, that's exactly what they're doing!!!! URGH!!!
DON'T BE FOOLED!!! STOP THEM!!!!  |

happypole ... oh my friend, I'm sure the politicians don't know about the bad housing situation. Someone should write a letter to let them know, or they'd never find out ... bless them.
Or better ... go to No 10 by yourself and have a nice conversation face to face with a coffe and some cookies, how about that ?
You just need to remember to bring something convincing, like an atomic bomb ... otherwise they'll give a fuck ! |

What does Boris have to do with these type of scams?
He can't control scammers in Nigeria or other countries posting on the gumtree can he?
