chrisplum Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Put my bass on Gumtree today and very quickly Heloise Rehman wanted to snap it up at the asking price - would send money to my PayPal account and arrange a courier to collect as Heloise has hearing problems and recent heart surgery , apparently buying the 'guitar' for his cousin - pretty sure it's a scam so please be wary.

ambient Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 You get that loads with bumtree. I had a few things advertised on there, and had a very similar email. Only they didn't even mention what the item was, they just said musical instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matticus616 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Literally just looked this up, got exactly the same email from a gumtree ad. I wonder if they actually get away with it. I've heard they send you a fake PayPal email stating you've been paid but the money's being held. Be warned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
