Hello,
I've been recently victim of the gumtree scam.

I'm trying to find other people which have been victim of the same scam in order to take legal actions against moneygram.

moneygram in the website states that their sistem is 100% secure and guaranteed but people keep losing their money.

Can you please contact me if you have been victims or if someone you know have been victim and would like to take legal actions.

thank you everyone![/b]


hi ive been aswell had 3 grand taken please contact me on hayleigh_21@hotmail.co.uk

i have found yet another gumtree scammer whilst looking for a flat, you would think that gumtree would try and put more security in place to prevent randoms advertising properties on here thtat 9 times out of ten probably aren't even theirs and just copied off of right move or something like that?

and not to be rude but why would anyone transfer 3 grand just like that for a property on gumtree? it'd probably cost less to go through an estate agent hun Confused

There isn't one particular scam and it isnt confined to gumtree, it is however always using moneygram or western-union.

have a look in the tips and tricks section
