ade williams has a scam whereby he purchased a high value item from me on Gumtree. He then tells you to register an account with PayPal and he will send you the money for the item. You then supposedly receive an email from PayPal saying that you have received an instant payment from Adem Williams (in my case 14000 pounds sterling) and as soon as you supply tracking information to PayPal they will credit your account with the payment. The moment that you supply tracking information then you will not hear from him again. The email from PayPal looks very authentic but it turns out that it is false.
So by the time that you realise that it is a scam and that you are not going to get any money he has already got the goods.
To me he used [email protected] as an email address and [email protected] his mobile phone number is 078 2886 2745 His address that he used was 14 Platin Road, Drogheda, County Louth, A92PF64 Ireland.
I have communicated all of this information to Sargent John Brady at Garda police station in Irelan and he has contacted Interpol but it doesn't seem that they are having much luck tracking him down. If you deal with this scam artist then get in touch with your local police or Interpol as they may be able to track him via his IP address if the communications are still live.
Good luck everybody and be safe
