This Number is the Don College, Devonport, TAS! It sends you a txt/sms at the end of the day (like myself a few mins ago) to tell you your child has been absent from class. You respond by txt/sms or via the Other Office number for Don college which is included in the txt/sms! This isnt scammy.

Same as above.... Hi Irene, Many thanks for getting back to me again. I am very social person that respect humanity and this make it so easy for me to get along with whoever that comes my way in life. I am arriving on 16th of Sep and start working in Australia. I will be securing the room by transferring the rent to you through PayPal and if you do not have a paypal account kindly set up an account with them in less than 5 minutes on www.paypal.com. I would have requested for your bank details but for the safety of you and me with giving bank details online, I prefer going through PayPal. I will be so happy to secure the room as soon as you get back to me with the PayPal money request. All you need to do is to log into your PayPal and click request money, you will then send the money request of total 3 months rent to my email address for me to transfer the money. I will like to pay in advance through PayPal and my reason is that, I will be presenting the proof of my rent payment to my employer and also to the immigration at the port of entry into Australia.
Cheers Leung

Exactly the same to me. Below is a message from them. Shame on them!!!
Many thanks for getting back to me again. Everything is fine with me. I 'm a very social person that respect humanity and this make it so easy for me to get along with whomever that comes my way in life. I do have a working visa and I will be arriving on 10th of Sept. from USA. I will be staying for a year in Australia working as a chef and i will like you to remove the room advert from Gumtree because it has been taken by me already. I will be transferring the rent to you through PayPal and if you do not have one, kindly set up an account with them in less than 5 minutes at www.paypal.com.au. Alternatively i can as well transfer the funds into your bank account via my PayPal. If that is fine with you, please do get back to me with your name as it is on your account, Bsb and your account number so that i can transfer the funds asap. I will be so happy to secure the room as soon as you get back to me with the PayPal email address or your bank details. I had attached pics of myself for you to know me better. I am paying the rent fee in advance because i will be presenting the proof of my rent payment to my employer and also to the immigration at the port of entry to Australia. Hope to read back from you soon. Cheers.

Asking the address.and.three.month living cost and paid by paypal. We felt wired then search this phone number on web and saw the above comment. Be careful!"
They should disconnect this number - however this scammer will just use another number.

Same as some of the above. Have an add in gumtree selling something. Sent me a txt message asking me to email her my best price. Offered to pay over my asking price and wanted paypal or bank acct that she will deposit and send her agent because she is currently in a combat ship. Original email was fayose88 @ gmail.com but she replied by foxamy5 @ hotmail.com and her suposed name was Amy Kewel.
It is a scam. The way it works is that she supossedly deposits into your account more than you ask. She then says that because she is overseas or something she is sending her agent to pick up but she cannot pay him for his troubles because he doesn't accept credit card, could you please pay the difference to her agent with a western union transfer.
She then emails you a fake paypal or bank deposit stating the amount she paid into your account. Off course, she is in a hurry and needs this urgently, so can you pay her agent right away. You never receive the funds.

Same. I was selling some furniture on Gumtree and was contacted by this number. Asked me to reply via email to janwes8 @ outlook.com, offered to pay over the advertised price and asked to confirm by Paypal or bank details. They are "currently on the sea" and their pick-up agent will come around after payment has been made.
Be careful!!!

I received a text message from this number asking to buy an item I had put on Gumtree. The person asked me to send them an email. my guess is that the 'buyer' is hoping to catch someone who doesnt already have a paypal account, who will then click the link in their email and sign up to paypal, inadvertantly giving all their bank details. I was stupid enough to give my paypal email name, can't believe I did that! I have deleted my pay pal account.

Received a message from this mobile number and they are using the email address janewong2142 @ gmail.com & they will send you Jane's photos mentioning that she is from Singapore & would like to rent a room and can make the payment via paypal ( 3months rent plus deposit) to secure the room. She needs the Paypal receipt to show to the customs when arrive in Australia.. I requested further on the Passport copy and employer letter. They can provide you the SG Passport copy and NZ driver licence. But the content on the Passport is not 100% legitimate. So I searched website and found this column.. Be careful !

This is a scammer's number. I have posted an advertisement to rent a room online. This person sent me a sms to communicate via email. When I ask for identification such as passport/police clearance, this scammer immediately ask me to room my room to others instead. I have googled for this number and found out that this scammer been trying to scam around Canada & Australia by pretending to rent your room/buy your car and trying to trick you to pay for his/her mover to move her things or whatever. Be carefull people!
