Or better still stick a load of adverts on any crappy site that are riddled with scammers.

Bulk box of iphones. Need to sell really quickly before apple realise they have sent them to me.. Bargain speed of sale is more important than price.. Let the scammers try and scam the scammer or at least annoy the hell out of each other.

We have just received a very similar email from a Mary Cambel, email address marycambel24199@gmail.com asking to buy our motorhome outright, when the hubby called to say he had the email I said no way is this genuine, and after a bit of googling been proved right. Poor Mary has hearing loss and in a wheelchair, and her gmail account profile pic even shows this! They do seem to put a lot of effort in so it must be working for other poor sods.

Great! please consider it sold as i am willing to pay your full asking price because i need to buy it for my cousin asap, i have read through the advert and I'm totally satisfied with it,sadly i would not be able to come personally to collect due to my hearing loss and me being on a wheelchair. i have a courier agent that would help me to pick it up at your preferred location after you have received your money and I'll pay you via PayPal today. Where is the pick up location so that i can inform the courier agent about it now?

Hi Greg, my address is xxxxxxxxxxCould you please let me know which item you are interested it.
Regards

OK that's fine,I've contacted the courier agent so I'm waiting for their response. Meanwhile you can send me your PayPal email and registered name with your actual price so that i can send the money right away and choose a good time for the pick up after payment has been received.

Hi Greg,
You still haven't told me which Item you would like.
Maybe you could send the cash down with your courier, as I prefer to deal in cash. My courier has allowed me to do this when I've asked him.
Regards
I'm sorry as i am home-bound i don't have access to other payment methods..so i can only pay via PayPal.
You can setup a PayPal account at https://www.paypal.co.uk it's very fast,safe and secure. Also it's very easy to set up within few minutes.

Hi Greg,
Where abouts are you located, maybe my husband could call while he's passing as he's a driver and covers most of the country, I'm sure he would be more than happy to drop whichever item off for you. The price is £400 is that OK?
Regards

I am in North Lanarkshire

Greg,
That sounds ideal, hubby is heading to Stirling on Tuesday so will be able to drop it off for you and pick up the cash. I didn't think it would be this straight forward as I have never really sold anything on gumtree before.
Regards

I am in North Lanarkshire but it's heading to Kano Nigeria so using the courier would be the best option

Greg,
This must be fate, I'm heading to Ungogo on Thursday and will be more than happy to take it to your cousin for you, that will save you the courier cost and I can also collect the money from your cousin for my spends when I'm there. Just send me his address and I'll stick it in my sat nav.
Regards


Hmm, he hasn't replied since, and I was trying to be as helpful as I could.
