Ok this one has me baffled!
I posted a looking for work advert on gumtree this morning. Stated what work i was looking for my availability etc, not giving many personal details other than the fact i am a 29 year old female.
Now im well aware that gumtree is full of scams and expected numerous dodgy emails however this one has me baffled.
It states:
Hi there,
I am a rich handsome businessman. What sort of work are you looking for?
Thanks

Any ideas?

I did think that but surely there are plenty of other ways of doing that rather than replying to ads on gumtree?!InsideInsurance wrote: »I know thats how I advertise for the people I'm recruiting for
Not sure I should ask after the first response but in what field do you recruit if that is how you advertise?
