Caller: Linda Lasher via email

"She" replied to a Gumtree ad. I asked her to reply from her Flagship Marine email address. Here's her original reply to the ad:

Thanks a lot for the email. I work with Flagship Marine and we are presently offshore in New Zealand. We do not have access to phone at the moment, its 5days off and 25days on which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility. Where are you located at the moment?

I am buying it and I want it delivered before my arrival. I won't be able to come for the inspection due to the nature of my work and I would have called but phone usage and calling are very restricted. I have also contacted a courier agent who will meet you for pick-up and delivery after payment has been cleared. Regarding the payment, please get back to me with your final asking price, I can transfer money through secure online bank transfer, you can alternatively send your BSB and account number, payment can also go through PayPal, if you don't have, you can set up at www.paypal.com

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

Same message about working for Flagship Marine. Thanks all.

I just received the same email from Linda Lasher, supposedly working for Flagship Marine, can;t call, blah, blah, blah.
I also expect another one from "Wayne" who also wanted my email address! Am changing my Gumtree ad to COD.

Caller: Linda Lasher

I feel like a fool!! She even sent me a photo of her ID!! I’ve already done the transfer!! Has anyone else managed to get their money back if they were an idiot like me?

Caller: Linda Lasher

Just received the same message after being contacted about an item I am selling on Gumtree. Obviously the same SCAM - thanks for confirming.

Received the same email and even went ahead to request payment. How do I cancel the transaction. I have heard nothing.

He sent me the same email requesting payment for the courier because he doesn’t have his credit card on him. Started getting suspicious and found this site. I can’t believe he is scamming people. I gave him my bank details. I hope he doesn’t use my personal details to try access my banking account.

Oh dear, I didn’t do anything with this email thank goodness a google search of the email address and all of this popped up. I will be reporting to Gumtree. The email felt like a scam, thank goodness I found your website
