Emailing me over and over again asking me to send everything by courier and she would pay later. Massive Scammer!!!
Still At it on 30/10/17 trying to get a ski bag on gumtree this time. "Great!please consider it sold as i am willing to pay your full asking price because i need to buy it for my Cousin asap, i have read through the advert and i'm totally satisfied with it,sadly i would not be able to come personally to collect due to my hearing loss and me being in wheelchair. I have a courier agent that would help me to pick it up at your preferred location after you have received your money and i'll pay you via PayPal today. Where is the pick up location so that i can inform the courier agent about it now? Please get back to me asap..."

Regarding the payment i can only pay via PayPal at the moment and I will be responsible for all the PayPal fee/charges on this transaction kindly get back to me with your PayPal email and the pick up location so that i can inform the courier agent about it now? Awaiting your reply soon...
As above, my mum was selling something on eBay and sent me the long correspondence with lots of excuses about how she couldn't get out, needed to send by courier, transfer the money via MoneyGram, gift for her cousin etc. Thankfully mum sent it to me and I was immediately suspicious, then searched and found this thread. Glad I did!

Had the fake pay pal pending payment e mails over paid to cover courier costs of £465!!! Can you send a money gram to the courier in Nigeria when I explained I can't get out of the house as I only have one leg & im partially blind and I'm waiting for my best friends next door nieghbours auntys sons friend from work, well actually the guy that lives next door to him to come help me send the cash money gram but she also has no arms as was blown up by a mine so it will be difficult to send today they seemed very put out by this!!! you have been warned!!!
As at 15th may 2017 annbeatson0009@gmail.com is still active with the exact same scam on Jewllery I have for sale just waiting for payment now lol while playing the game courier coming today box is already with a slug in it...
Texted me. Asking if I still had the jewellery. Text was like a service message as I wasn't able to reply. This made me suspicious. So I looked the address up and here it is!
I have received an e-mail saying that they wanted to pay full asking price for a ring i had advertised on Gumtree but due to recovering from heart surgery and hearing loss was unable to collect in person. They said they would pay by PayPal and send a courier for the item. Luckily i googled the e-mail address and saw that this was a scam before any transactions took place.
This lady hasaid contacted me via Gumtree to purchase an item I have for sale in was immediately suspicious and Google drive the address. Appear to be active scammers
They made me believe that they wanted to buy an item I had on sale on gumtree.com and said they wanted to pay with paypal. Then they sent a fake email with the paypal payment recipit. Then they sent me another email saying that they had payed 290£ more than due + another 40£ that I had to use to pay a courier to get the item delivered to them. I had to pay the 290£ to a giy in Nigeria (from UK) and use the 40£ as the fee for moneygram to send the money. This user has been reported to gmail as well. Their fake paypal email has been reported to paypal.
