Advertised a camera for sale yesterday on gumtree, had this come through today...

Them: Hi, is your Camera still available for sale? what is your final selling price ?? reply to my email at [email protected] thanks

Me: Yes, I still have it. £425 is the absolute lowest I would sell for. That would make it an absolute bargain!
If you'd like to know anything about the camera package please feel free to call me on 07*********.

Them: Hello thanks for reply,i am currently on offshore working as an health
and safety manager on the rigs, . I am buying this for my dad as a
surprise gift. However,does it have any history I should be aware of?
and why are you selling if you don't mind my asking and I will really
appreciate if you can email more info and if possible more photos.
I can only pay through Paypal at the moment as i can not come to pay you
cash personally or send you check due to my present location but i
have it attached to my Paypal account and this is why i insisted on
using Paypal to pay,all i will need is your Paypal email address to
make the payment, and if you don't have a Paypal account yet, you can set one it
cant take you less than 3 mins to do that, i will be expecting your Paypal
email so l can pay . I have a pick up agent that will
come for the pick up after payment has been sorted out and cleared in
your account,
l will be waiting for your reply asap.


This sent alarm bells ringing so I googled the name and it brought me to this site.

I would just like to say thankyou to the site admin for providing this valuable service

Just has a reply to my ad on Gumtree for a 1930s one arm bandit. It all seemed a bit dodgy so Google the email address and found this link so thank you for sharing. I received the same story/correspondence.
