With respect to the mail of (thomasfag07) I have a similar situation in a publication of a platform of sale mexico, in which commented - Hello, I would like to have this article if it is still for sale? It is original? Replying to me via my email (thomasfag07) is a google email address - Due to this I think it is a spam type or worse a xploitz so I recommend ignoring this type of questions And more if in these is involved the mail of (thomasfag07).
I have posted an ad for selling kids stuff, I got a sms stating Concerning the kids stuff advert reply me on thomasfag07 @ gmail .com for further discussion .
As reported above - a strangely worded message via SMS to an ad for some buggies on gumtree. As I supplied my email it seems odd. And kid stuff rather than buggy? Odd Concerning the kids stuff advert reply me on thomasfag07 @ gmail .com for further discussion
I have advertised a pram for sale on a couple of advertising websites, I have had two txts from the same person 1. addressed me as dear friend the 2nd one as hello buddy... is your kids stuff u posted still available? reply to my email thomasfag07@gmail.com. I am always getting these type of messages when I advertise something online. You can usually tell the type of not genuine msg when they ask you to reply to email.
