Someone just tried to scam me on Gumtree, but proposing to use Gumtree delivery. Looked into it and it's complete BS.
Anyone else had someone try this on?

Gumtree scam
It’s surprising what people fall for. Have witnessed it close hand very recently despite myself, close friends and some family members (one was going along with it) telling someone it’s not real.
We’re talking serious dollars lost here and heading for identity theft too before they started getting suspicious things weren’t legit. Family intervention revealed all with the proof from Government sources. This scam has been running since 2019 with some massive $$$ amounts victims have handed over.
This particular person ^ has fallen for scams on 2 other occasions. First time bank accts were shut down before damage was done. Second one only 2 months before third and very recent big one was a Gum Tree one with bank transfer not credit card.Last edited by Hatchman; 14th February 2022 at 09:10 AM.

If they spend enough time in Canberra they’ll decide to leave on their own. Originally Posted by pt73

No doubt from the wonderful areas known for people of high IQ like Caboolture and Logan...Honestly the vast majority of us think they're exactly as brainless and uneducated as they're displaying in that video. Originally Posted by WBennett
