still trying to con people with goods for sale offering to pay by paypal, recovering from heart surgery, etc etc. I said Bank Transfer only, and contact stopped.
Exactly the same has happened to me re selling my pram and had an email telling me they were willing to pay full asking price and then the sob story of being deaf and recovering from heart surgery. Told me to give PayPal details and they would arrange a courier. Fortunately I\'m a cautious person and googled the name and came across this thread .ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING PEOPLE OUT THERE
I have experienced the exact same as all of you on here! I received a txt message to which i emailed this email address and i recieved the exact word for word email reply from this so called Victoria! I did think it sounded too good to be true hence googled her email address only to find this shocking thread! Needless to say i shall be reporting her right now!
Exactly the same thing has happened to me. Demanding I remove the item and she will send for a courier.
Just had exactly the same. Great now my emails are going to be infested with spam. I knew it was too good to be true.
WARNING I received a text message this morning from victoriamorgan009@gmail.com regarding a praGreat! please consider it sold and i want you to remove the advert as i am willing to pay your full asking price because i need to buy them for my cousin asap, i have read through the advert and i\\\'m totally satisfied with it. Unfortunately i would not be able to come personally to collect due to my hearing loss and I\\\'m just recovering from heart surgery so I\\\'m home-bound. 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 once you are ready. Kindly get back to me with your location so that i can inform the courier agent about it now? I have seen this before when the buyer states they can\\\'t pay the courier and ask you to pay It to them and they will reimburse you via pay pal. This is a scam and you have been a target of fraud for paying them the so called courier charges!
Had the same email from victoriamorgan006@gmail.com sounded fishy so did some searching. Glad I did the nasty scum

Received an email from this email add to buy my buggy I'm selling got all the story about losing her hearing and recovering from heart surgery apparently put almost double in my PayPal account but obviously didn't and the buggy was going to her cousin in Nigeria!!! Wtf totall scam email her courier was apparently £265 which I had to pay cash , well they have been reported
caropope753@gmail.com Emailed my partner to say she would buy a sofa we are advertising on Gumtree. She apparently sent me double the asking price to cover the cost of couriering it to France for her cousin (obviously no money in my paypal account!) she can't come and collect it herself as she is deaf and wheelchair bound. ****.
Glad I googled this, she just tried it with me .. exact same wording with the victoriamorgan009@gmail.com address

caropope753@gmail.com I had the same phishing email when posting a Pram for sale on gumtree Disgusting
I had the exact same emails sent to me yesterday. Luckily I'd ready previously about online scams etc
Same scammed did it to me unfortunately I gave my address however I did call paypal and blocked them when I realised it was fishy, here is the address they gave me 125 Downshire Road , Holywood, Co.Down. BT 18 9 LZ
Got the same Email off this women.DEaf just come out of a heart operation so she was house bound....i have also had the EXACT same email being sent from caropope753@gmail.com and also erobert7009@gmail.com AVOID replying.I said i reported her to paypal and she didnt reply back.The address of the courier that she was going to send the courier from was Paul Jonathon 138 Rue des Rosiers zip code 93400.Awful how they are getting away with it
I've got the same email today. I'm going to get her. I'm going to ask for her contact details and get her to the police.
Same thing to me just now. I'm trying to sell a pram on gumtree got the exactly same reply. First a text asking if I still had it, which i thought was genuine, so I sent an email to this Victoria Gmail address to get the same response about sending it with a courier Sounded too fishy so googled the email address and hey presto.. Scam I've bought things of gumtree before so this is a shame to see this
Just received identical email in relation to a buggy I was selling on gumtree. Sounded to good to be true did an Internet search and was astounded that this person has been doing this for so long. She also told me she was deaf and housebound due to a heart operation. Scandalous that she is still doing this after all this time. Told her I wanted a cash buyer.
Just to let everyone know I was selling pram on Gumtree and got this message when I replied to enquiry:- On Monday, May 30, 2016, 21:08, Victoria Morgan <victoriamorgan009@gmail.com> wrote: Great! please consider it sold and i want you to remove the advert as i am willing to pay your full asking price because i need to buy them for my cousin asap, i have read through the advert and i'm totally satisfied with it.
