Text due to an ad I placed on Gumtree - did not use my name, called their mother 'mom', poor use of English. Asked to respond via email: brycerose0147 @ gmail.com. Definite scammer.

This phone text us on 10/11/2020 after we advertise our car on gumtree . He said Adrian will like to know if your car still on for sale ? Pls email him on (dennadrian1993 @ gmail.com) Email Only. In the email , he said he is very busy and is on the road and cannot be contacted . He is buying a car as a gift for his cousin as a Christmas present .He would like our bank details or even better our PayPal account . He has booked courier and will pay extra $200 if we close our advertisement. Sounds to good to be true ! Big scammer . Be aware and do not give out your bank details or any personal information .

Caller: I don’t know Selling a CCTV system on gumtree got a text message saying Hello Seller, David will like to know if your listed item is still for sale? please kindly get back to him via email (davidcroftletua @ gmail.com) Email only. so I responded saying this item is available then I did a quick search on his email address and found this website the below is the response I got back from him
Thanks!!! for the response,I would have loved to call you directly but due to the nature of my work we do not have access to phone at the moment,which is why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.
I am buying this for my first son who just graduated on top of his class at Charles Darwin University in NT ,He studied Building Design & Architecture. I want it to be the perfect graduation gift for him and am making it a surprise package ,Does it have any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don't mind my asking. I don't mind adding an extra $300.00 for you just to take down the posting..I am already in talks with freigh that will handle the pickup and delivery .I will really appreciate if you can email more info

Caller: A scammer I've been leading this scammer on for over a week now. Been good fun him trying to get me to get steam gaming cards to pay for transport and sending me false paypal emails. All started from an ad on gumtree. Defiantly not in Australia. Got the same email as you have. Disturbing thing is he sent a scan through to me of a drivers licence from WA. Police will be notified tomorrow.

Ditto I got a text from 0480 022 206 right after posting an advert on Gumtree saying cant come and view the item please send me an email and a courier will come collect the item. I can pay via Paypal or Bank account. Watch out the email address is cokermatthew37 @ outlook.com. This guy is looking to grab your Mobile number, full name address and bank account details so that he can try and take over your identity. Very sophisticated scam for the unsuspecting.
I have a bot now registering the scammers email address to penis enlargement and hair loss medication services, a little dish called revenge served cold :P

Same as so many others here - 5 minutes after posting a Gumtree car sales advert, I get a message from this pond-scum. This time he is masquerading as a bloke called Barry, with a request to communicate directly with barryjohns5400 @ gmail.com (email only of course!).
This persistent crook is definitely Scammy McScamface.

Caller: Matt Coker via Gumtree Sounds like these people are still at it, I got 2 different spam sms within 1 hour of posting my Gumtree ad, asking if my 'item' was still for sale. I replied via a separate email as I was suspicious and I got this response The email had the same name as the posts above but the number was 0434 118 846, different than here but a number that has other posts on this site
cokermatt19 @ outlook.com
Thanks for your swift response, I mistakenly deleted the advert on my laptop, please how many items do you have for sales on gumtree? Can you please list them out with all their prices?
The scammers just keep on scamming
