True, technically though gumtre isn't online shopping because the transaction is done face to face. |

Agreed it says to do that all over the site , if you are stupid enough not to do that then you deserve to be scammed in my honest opinion
But saying that how many muggings have been done via the cars section
I wouldn't like meeting a stranger with a couple of grand in my pocket |

| Well I must say that the chances of anything happening face to face are tiny. More chance of you being struck by lightning! This year I only know of two incidents but there have been millions of transactions. If you follow our stay safe guidelines, you will be fine, one of which is don't carry a lot of money with you when meeting strangers. See the item and if you like it, go draw the cash |
