Hi
I bought something from Gumtree last week. I thought the seller was genuine - spoke through texts, emails, phonecalls etc but then she said the item was damaged and could not send it. But has not sent my money back
Stupidly I dont where this person lives - all I have is a phone no and she wont answer and her account details
Can I do anything? The bank said they wont get involved either

Gumtree is fine if you use it like you would ads in a paper. Only buy things you can go and check out in person,CharlieBilly wrote: »Thats the trouble with gumtree is a scammers paradise I would never buy anything from gumtree
So OP you sent a bank transfer to someone you had never met for an item you hadn't seen. Enough said I think.0
