A person calling her self Chisty Jossey sends a message re purchase of goods on Gumtree says she will buy and will have an agent pick up goods and will pay the money in full including freight cost. Then she sends instruction for you to forward via western union the freight cost to some wing ding in China.
You receive what looks like a pay pal notice of funds on hold for you to be released on pick up. But when you check with pay pal you find its not real and they are not holding any funds.
The tip off is she and others claim to work for New Zealand oil and gas on an off shore rig. This is a long running scam search New Zealand oil and gas you will find much more and they do not have any staff off shore. You can find warnings on the NZOG site

This Theresa person has been around for a while. Hundreds of complaints. Can't understand why FP don't track her (or it could be a man) and stop her.
Just remember if she can email you she can access her online banking.
NZ oil rig worker. Crap. Probably sitting locally reading local paper ads. Hopefully karma will bring her down.

BEWARE!!! of anyone wanting to buy anything from you on Gumtree. I received a very quick response today to my newly posted ad. The scammer says she is working offshore for Flagship Marine 5 days off and 25 days (unusual turn around) and asked for my address, and my bank details or PayPal info - it was a red flag to me - excuse the pun. Why anyone would want to buy something from someone living in Western Australia when they were offshore in NZ was another ???

User Teuny101 on Gumtree
They use the email address Huntaywinflow @ outlook.com
This is the email she sends

Then they try to change the payment after issuing a fake PayPal receipt saying they have transferred funds to you - she even sent through a photograph of an Australian Passport in that name including passport number (? I wonder is it stolen or fake?)

As per the above thread I was initially contacted by this person through Gumtree. Gave her my bsb/account no but the next email had me concerned - she wanted to send extra to cover courier. The extra was almost 3 times the cost of the item on sale. No sensible person would pay that. I have now blocked her and informed my bank

Messages;

Thanks for the swift response and do as well advise on the least amount you will like to give it away as i am buying this for my holiday home and due to the nature of my job and location...i will not be able to come for inspection, am a very busy type as i work long hours every day, i have gone through your advertisement and i am satisfied with it.
I have a private courier agent that will come for the pick up after the payment has been made...
Regarding the payment, I will be paying you through PayPal. Please get back to me with your PayPal details so i can process the payment, OR you can alternatively send your bsb and account number if you have no PayPal account.

Kindly get back to me with the following questions below:
Account number
Account name
BSB number.

1) Are you the Owner?
2) Pick up Location?
3)what is The final Price

Thanks.

*********

Then:

Thanks for the payment details and am happy to proceed with the payment, however i got a confirmation mail from the shipping agent now that i will need to pay for the freighting fees before they can schedule pre-shipping/ pickup date,they charged $1,050 for the pick up and delivery, but the problem is they only accept Skrill Money Transfer as form of payment which is sent to their HQ.

I need a credit card to personally take care of that but I didn't bring it along as I am currently on duty and had thought there would be no need for bringing it along.

As you are well aware of, due to the nature of my work .am away and do not have access to Skrill Transfer will it be ok with you if I add the $1,050 to the amount I am transferring? and you can help me make transfer of the freighting fees through Skrill Money Transfer? and you can send it online at Skrill.com You are not obliged to help me, but i will indeed appreciate your help as I am a little incapacitated here.

**********
Then:

Hi,can I proceed with the payment now?please get back to me ASAP.

******
So now I am going to have some fun with her.

It really angers me that people are so rotten that they scam people!!!
