Listed an item for sale on Gumtree. Almost immediately received a text message to email Kelly now on kellymicha80@gmail. com with a final asking price. Email only due to the nature of his work. Received the same SMS again as I was typing this. Scam.

Caller: Lawsonren @ gmail.com. Nicholas Brett

Wanting to buy Labradoodle. Very vague with responses never answering questions directly.

Got a similar text from an add on gumtree. asking to email only to King if still available with my final asking price. Email address was kingstevenman79 @ gmail.com

Same as all the others. I listed on Gumtree and got 3 messages . Everything was an issue with it. I told them to deposit money into my account which they said I needed to pay $200 to get it released. Checked with PayPal Pal and they said they had no knowledge of payment. The apparent customer even had a Medicare card and drivers licence they sent a photo of to me.

Caller: Txt message received

Caller: Kelly Michael RUDNESKI

Received his standard reply to my Gumtree ad Truck for sale. Very convincing and active. Be careful and don't enter into any conversation with this gutter rat

Same as the people above. Got the same next but with different name. Scam

Received the same message after listing an item on Gumtree. Exact same wording - as it came in before 6am I thought it suspect. While I was contemplating what to do I received a further three identical messages over 30 minutes or so.

Yep had the same and sent text a second time also rang number and went to digital voice mail . Scam

Same as above in regards to Kelly- scam

Also received the same message upon listing a item for sale on Gumtree
