Contacted me on gumtree after I requested looking for a place to rent. Pretended to be landlord of a property and offered it to me much cheaper than the asking price. Urged me to place a deposit to secure it. I asked him lots of silly questions to prove he was lying. Beware, he seems to prey on people desperately needing rentals.

Pretending to work on a oil rigg scammed me and my partner out of 2700 dollars about a house and a job.
All of sudden his phone was disconnect and he said he works and lives in new Zealand
