"I am cannot pick up in person. I can arrange delivery. I will pay all expenses myself. Does it suit you?
I will arrange everything and pay. After you receive the money, the courier will contact you and arrive at a convenient time for you. Best regards Alex Mitchell

Total scammer, same as the posts above I called the number, Disconnected. This guy is still about for so long with the same number. Useless police catch me for doing 4 kms over the speed limit though! 😤

The sam just happened to me. "Alex Mitchell" messaged me on WhatsApp and sent me details to a gumtree ad I had put up saying “ I can't pick up in person, but I can arrange delivery. I will arrange everything myself and pay all expenses. bank transfer suit you?”. I was also suspicious and said paypal only. I sent him a screen shot of this page, and haven't heard back!!!!

Same happened to me. Messaged on WhatsApp and sent me details to a gumtree ad I had put up saying “ I can't pick up in person, but I can arrange delivery. I will arrange everything myself and pay all expenses. bank transfer suit you?”. I was suspicious at this point and said I would do via pay pal. They did not reply after this. Thank goodness for this forum. Alex Mitchell appears to also be under the number 0485 841 846. Definitely a scam

Same experience as everyone here.
The WhatsApp number is 0485 841 846 - it may change though - but the number on the fake AusPost website in his personal details section is 0403 103 491.

"Alex" is still at it.
He contacted me 13/14 July 2022 trying to convince me to give my credit card details to his special "Australia Post Delivery Service". I called Australia Post. This service does not exist. I reported him to Scams @ auspost.com.au
Australia Post will never ask for your credit card details online/ by phone call.

The number contacted me on gumtree about an item for sale, he almost had me but I clicked on the auspost link, it asked for my card details which isn't required if someone is paying you. Came to google to check the number and good thing I did. Stay safe everyone and stay wary.
The scam number was 0403 103 491

I asked him to correspond via Gumtree but instead claimed to set up a courier collection through Australia Post where i receive payment first by providing my credit card details.
Pfff.

I posted items on gumtree and Alex replied via WhatsApp. Said he was going to send a courier to pick up the items and he'll pay now. Alex sent a auspost link and told me to enter the account I'd like to be paid into.. I immediately googled the number and wowzus! Thank goodness I did
