Potential Gumtree Scam - GU Patrol Td42

[AB]

Too good to be true. This came on last night and I'm sure anyone who follows Gumtree/Ebay would have seen this too.

I have emailed the seller saying I will buy it now, now , now but it looks to be a scam so be careful with this one.

No phone number listed either so I am expecting an email back with the usual scam deposit required, etc.

Theres plenty of adds like that , even on carsales ect
I emailed some idiot the other day for contact details,like a phone number , he prefered to deal emails only
That to me is a scam straight up
But in saying that , theres alot who prefer emails only

Ive noticed a few adds of late that the contact number is half numbers and half letter,(04 one 8 two ......) stops computer number recognition,
good idea i reckon

Wish I'd have thought of that when I had my Falcon on Carsales. Had that many dropkicks calling me up asking if it does good skids... they probably wouldn't have been able to read the numbers :tease:

And the scam begins by the looks of it to get the personal email address....Havent reported it just yet as it "may" be legit but don't think so...
