Iphone seller on Gumtree. Claimed to be a single mum with 4mth old who had very recently been left by her partner. Needed $ fast. Very cheap phone. Living on Kangaroo Island. As a single parent I felt deeply for this person's predicament and EFT $700 (more than advertised amount) to help out and pick up a phone. Preying on single parents who know how cripplingly difficult it is at the point of acceptance when your partner walks is an unthinkably low act. Good wake up for me. First time I'd been scammed. I found it very distracting, mildly disturbing and very unsettling. No new phone for this old sod!

Always ask for their driver licence sent from their email or use PayPal... Call the police
