You don't work for them do you?

Well, I should've expected that one... Thanks for you mature answer.

Regardless of what I think of Gumtree- I hate just plain ignorance.

You're telling othe ...

So yeah, I've come across this a few times but I haven't seen anyone mention it...

I was looking for Reading tickets last week and spotted a load of scams, which were probably by people in this c ...

I would recommend to anyone reading this to use other classified sites, auction sites, or the old fashioned post office window. As evidenced by my and many, many other similar reports, Gumtree is ...

Help section, guys. E-mail them with your reference numbers.

Seeing as no one else complained about this issue, I doubt it's a Gumtree technical error...

It's there when I checked it!

Well, if your e-mail address was being abused, do you think they're just going to allow it?

Hey man, have you sent them an e-mail via help? Do that and send them your ad ref number.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like much will get done to prevent it. The best thing to do is probably just to educate user's what the scam actually is. Gumtree have warning messages but people don' ...

This thread is over a year old!!! You should've just made a new one.

It's definately, a scam.

Don't pay for a flat/item you haven't seen.

Western Union isn't a valid form of payment.

You know, sometimes asking nicely does you favours...

I'm sure someone will sort you out soon. Have you e-mailed them yet? By that I mean look in the HELP section under paid ads.

Yeah, jonin60seconds. You're the best thing I've seen in this forum. Hope you're sticking around for a while Smile

Big fat scam.

As far as I'm aware, it's illegal to pay money prior to the viewing of the house/flat. Tell him you're away saving the children in Nigeria so you need him to go to the local police s ...

I thought Paypal only covers items bought on eBay only?

Gumtree is supposed to be a place for local trade. You meet the person, inspect your item and if it's okay you pay by cash. You really shou ...

It's probably because somewhere along the lines you've done something you probably shouldn't have. Whether you realise it or not coming to the forum to have a bitch-fest isn't really going to help yo ...

Give it some time, send them a nice e-mail in a months time and say you're sorry and you won't do it again. I don't see why they won't let you back after that. Unless you did something REALLY bad...

You post an ad as normal when you click Flats > Offered, it'll ask you if you're an agent/professional landlord. Click one of those and you'll be taken to a screen with more info. If you've alrea ...

I wouldn't place any deposits. Sounds like someone's living there already and somehow this guy has access to the flat. Sounds like he'll take your deposit and run. I'd just look for another place! ...

Yeah, I don't think it's working on my end too. Probably a bug!

Is it chipped/ixtreme? I've been told by Gumtree before it's no-no to post any chipped/modified consoles!

I guess sometimes ads get reported by other people... Maybe people from Ireland are more sensitive Mad

What is it with you, drinking too much soup ???

What the heck is that even supposed to mean? What has that even got to do with anything?

You still think I was serious when I said I wanted to b ...

Okay, let's be childish then.

I've seen all your posts and you rank somewhere near the top on the "Pointless Chart".

It's come to this, huh? Picking apart every little bit of what I s ...

I think comparing a forum to a classifieds site isn't the best comparison. Gumtree's user base is probably close to half a million a day across the UK and over so many sections. Gumtree makes money, ...

Hiya,

You should report it to Gumtree via e-mail. You can e-mail them in the help page. This way Gumtree can find the user, and if you report it to the police, I'm sure Gumtree will pass on the i ...
