I recently posted an add on gummtree and received 2 emails that were almost identical one from a Lennon Lewis claiming he lives in NT and a Andy Kim from NZ. Now I thought it was strange just the way it was written so I googled the names and this site and a few other stories regarding fraud and these 2 names now both are also musicians and have no ligit Facebook, linked in or anything. So I knew they were scammers so I played them and when finally saying sorry I don't have PayPal or a current bank account and can only accept cash upon pick up I never herd from them again. Lennon went as far as sending me a photo of his drivers license with personal details in which I believe are as real as Lennon and Andy!
Just want to warn people as these people are ruthless heartless criminals that have clearly grown up with no guidance morals or consious!
One day KARMA will return what is owed.
GUMTREE & PAYPAL SCAM :yikes:

I will add the emails I received after I post this so you are awear of what to look for
