Hello mate, it's Holland, thank you for your response, I'm fine with it on the advert, exactly what I am looking for, is there anything I should be aware of?I work with Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. Beetaloo Basin, Northern Territory, Australia and the reception is terrible. We do not have access to phones at the moment, which is why I contacted you with an internet messaging facility. I am already in talks with the courier that will handle the pick-up and delivery.I am interested in 1 male and 1 female pups.

As regards the payment, I can pay you through direct bank deposit (EFT), using PayPal instant bank wire transfer service, linked up with my ANZ bank account, I will need your bank details and I will make the payment through PayPal facility to your bank account, all I will need is your acct number, BSB number, acct name and your final asking price.

With the issue of my details, transferring the name of ownership will be done by the freight agent so you don’t have to worry about that. Awaiting your response.

SCAMMER

Received this on SMS:

mHelpdesk MSG: Gumtree, Shane will like to know if this car still listed for sale, please email him now on(shanenoel43 @ gmail com) include your price and DON'T Reply "YES" to continue receiving updates.

WTF does "include your price and DON'T Reply "YES" to continue receiving updates." even mean....?

Caller: HollandRichard48 @ gmail.com

This guy has made contact about purchasing my dog and is a scammer. Don't give him bank or address details. I foolishly replied to his email and have since blocked him.

Just had Shanenoel43 @ gmail.com on looking to buy my car, luckily I came across this!! I told him where to go anyways

I got the same text from hollandrichard48 @ gmail.com after putting an ad on gumtree.

This piece of sh*t is still at it only thing different in the text this time it's his wife although I saw it in an earlier post ...................piece of sh*t
