Gumtree/Ukash Scam or not?

Yes its a scam, Ive informed UPS, and Gum Tree, also contact UKASH and they confirm scam but were pleased I had informed them.

Maybe nothing will happen, im sure ip addresses wont help track them, but for my own piece of mind I informed them as im sure many people have actualy paid them. Im like you and smelt the
rat.

For all our sakes could you go to the gumtree website and
send them a copy of your detail in your posting, ive done mine, jus maybe they might have some sort of mapping securtiy software that might prevent them listing again,

all the best

Hi there,
i had been scammed out of money involving payment for goods on Gumtree using Ukash to pay yesterday.The lady called Jessica and she was a busy clothes designer.I've paid £150 :(I'm feel like an idiot.Be careful on Gumtree.Full of scams...:((

i could of done with reading all this a week ago, i got scammed off an ad on gumtree for quite a few hundred pound, when a price sounds too good to be true it probably is, i recall even mailing that to the scammer as well. i should of been more cautious when they asked me to pay by a method i have never heard of before, let alone used. i did a quick check of the ukash site and everything looked sweet. the "scammer" sent fake invoices to my e-mail which all looked the part, official looking logos the works, even links to take u to the genuine site of ukash. !!!!!!. i was too excited in my "bargain" that i rushed down to shops to get my ukash vouchers. i messaged the scammer to ask if they received payment, having had trouble doing this after failed attempt of them not being verified i rung ukash for help on "making payments", for them to tell me i am being scammed, ukash were then able to track my vouchers and cancel them. i am in the process of getting a refund from ukash only because after sending the 19 digit voucher numbers i did not enclose the value of each voucher. ukash will take 6% fee off my vouchers for a refund but at least i am getting a lump of it back, they told me how extremely lucky i am, personally i feel stupid and cheated.
i reported the ad on gumtree after replying to the ad off a friends e-mail account being interested in the ad, they sent the exact same messages, trying to "scam" again, i just replied i would rather view item first and pay on collection, sadly i got no reply, awww.
i am a big fan of real hustle and never thought i would get caught in a scam, certainly not for that amount of money, but god have i learnt.
police informed, and to my surprise there is nothing they can do. !!!!!!???
where is the justice!!!!
p.s. also watch out, when getting caught up in these scams, some may send virus through e-mail, it took me a few days to get mine clean.
hope this at least helps somebody from this kind of scam, since the police won't help you, i kind of feel i have a duty!! STAY SAFE!!!
