Interested in Gumtree item (did not say which one) and wanted me to email them.
Last time someone asked me to email them they tried to get my bank account details.

Received this message for a vehicle I'm selling. It is IDENTICAL to one listed here.
Thank goodness for this site. SCAMMER.

Thanks for the swift response and do as well advise i am buying this for my daughter 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 everyday,i have gone through your advertisement and i am satisfied with it.

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

Received the following text from 0434 118 846: Hello I’m interested in your FURNITURE write me back on my email bridgeth0147 @ gmail.com Cheers (responding to a Gumtree ad) This is a typical scam message, poor grammar and not even being specific about the item being sold. Do not respond to them and delete their message

Caller: Supposedly our electrical repairer

Received SMS regarding bill for repairs carried out. Phone number was different from repairer's and the email they say they sent did not appear. Spoke to repairer and account had been settled. Definitely scammer. Always pays to check any suspicious numbers

Glad I googled the email address. Listed an ad on Gumtree and received a text "Hello is your furniture listed on gumtree still for sale? if yes kindly write me back on my private email for more detail bridgeth0147 @ gmail.com.

Caller: 0434 118 846

Posted an ad on gumtree, then received this message as a text to my phone number… When my partner goes to gumtree we can’t see my phone number…

Is your Furniture still for sale? what is the price and condition of it,get back to me through my email address (kburgess570 @ gmail.com)

Vague wording regarding the ad and questioning price and condition that are already listed! Why would I respond via email when you’ve just text me? SCAM ALERT!
