a reply to an add i placed to sell my motorbike......
Thanks you for the prompt response to my mail enquiry i'm quite satisfied with the condition and price.I'm very much interested in buying from you and i would like to make an outright purchase immediately so i will advice that you withdraw the advert from the web.I will be paying with a certified check.
Furthermore my mover will be coming over for the pick up as i might not be available for the pick up myself i would have loved to come and look it up but presently i'm not chanced to do that but am OK with the information from the ad.I will need the following information and details to make payment arrangement
1,Your full name to be on the Payment.
2,Your postal address.
3,Your phone number both land and mobile.
4,Your postal code.

This is definitely a scam. We always advice people to trade locally. If they will not come and view the bike in person then apart from being lazy, they are almost definitely a scammer!!!

That's strange. The link should be in my signature?
If you have hidden your contact details then you receive emails through the Gumtree email system. Each email should have a link saying 'is this email dodgy' and 'is this email spam'. Click those and you can report them to us. |
