Hi,

Have just made the payment and I would like you to help me ship the item Asap.i also Added postage. My son birthday is coming up in 3days and i was told by Royalmail that the item can get to there the next day or so.Meanwhile, I have received an email from Netbank that the funds have been deducted from my account and that it will be credited into your account once you advise them of the shipment tracking number. Kindly confirm this and help me get the item shipped out asap.Below is the shipping address:


Paul W

I was also told by Netbank that a confirmation email has been to [email protected] pls check all your mail folders i..e junk/spam folder to confirm my payment as it sometimes jumps in there.

Yep this email is a scammer, I got the exact same thing when trying to sell a product on gumtree, he told me he wanted it for his sons birthday in a couple of days and as his mother just died he wanted to make it a special birthday for him to cheer him up. he told me that PayPal had deducted the funds from his account and needed a shipping/tracking number to release the funds into my account. Make no mistake this is a scam and you should never send things without receiving the money first.

Thanks to ScamWarners and Bryon for helping me out and noticing that this is a scammer

Hi I got the same email regarding an item Xbox one am selling on gumtree. Me and my partner didn't notice until we read the email and then my partner searched netbank and noticed. We feel so stupid. Do we need to close my partners bank account as we have his details?.

He should talk to his bank's fraud department and see what they suggest.
