I got same message today for sale of a Bambach chair. Sarah Williams was the alias. Was about to hit send to the offshore kupe email when I thought twice about the rigid use of language and hit google only to find this scam trail. So useful to read other experiences. Phew.

I emailed back and advised that we have identified the scam, but good try!

Hi. My name is allana.

I just got contacted by Tina John. She asked how much i said amount. And she said she needed my PayPal email. And she'll send me the money. And then she sends me another email with a message from PayPal and PayPal saying she wants to offer me more money than we agreed on. I just have to click on their PayPal confirmation link. Which I didn't. And replied to her scammer!!! Time waisted. She or he needs to get a real job. Instead of wasting our time. This could be more serious if I didn't stop this from happening. This was through gumtree buy and sell.

I just got this too - a long email with weird English is a dead giveaway of a scam I have always found.
She texted me to ask about price, I replied by email and told her I had raised my price 90 billion cats and $4 million worth of lottery tickets - she replies with this.
Linda - lindasabuba611 @ gmail.com Thanks for your swift response.Am okay with the price and condition as stated on your gum tree ad,which prompt my quick response in purchase,would appreciate a pleasant condition .
Please wont be able to come for inspection due to the nature of my job,as am presently offshore.
I tried to reach you on phone but there has been a call restriction due to bad weather condition for some days.That why i reached you via internet messaging facility.
Regarding the payment ,will be paying you through my PayPal account or transferring the money from my paypal wire bank transfer to your bank account.Please get back to me with your PayPal details or bsb bank details, so i can proceed with the payment into any of the two and contact the courier agent who will come to pick it up and deliver it to my place in Darwin. Await your reply.
