Selling item on Gumtree 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
Solomona Ulu
Email Address:
solomona@gmail.com
This Solomona messaged me and asked to email my reply to an add I had listed on Gumtree. Unsuspecting me emailed him and advised that the item was still for sale. He explained that he was working for New Zealand Oil and Gas and he was working offshore in New Zealand. He works 15 days on and 15 days off. He explained that I could not reply by message because he was in a remote area.. He replied quickly advising that he was happy with price and condition and asked me for PayPal details or Bank Account and he will pay into the account and that he had been in contact with his courier who was going to collect and return to his home in Darwin.

I gave him my paypal details and feeling funny I googled New Zealand Oil and Gas and up came all these scam details. I have contacted PayPal and advised them of the scam and replied to him advising no PayPal account that works and to arrange Cash on Delivery.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
