Title: Gumtree scams - constantly
Post by: neils on March 26, 2019, 06:24:53 PM

Hi, just a warning to those who may be after an unbeleivable deal - it's a scam. Over the past 2 years I have reported endless scam adverts on Gumtree for adverts for amazing deals on land rovers. Always the same format, either a tel number or email in the photo and a single name for seller and a stupidly cheap price. Example one just listed on Gumtree this evening. Please dont fall for it.

Noticed this and several others recently, reported to Gumtree and it /they were taken down only to re appear shortly after under a different name, obviously if it looks too good a deal it most likely is, buyer beware.
