Gumtree house rental advertisement 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
Katie Coope
Email Address:
katiecoope100@gmail.com
Telephone:
0428465117
I advertised a room for rent on Gumtree and i received a text message asking me to reply to a \'Katie coope\' via email only, Which i did, On the 2nd email she/he/they asked for my full home address which i did not supply, 3rd email they asked for full bank details which i didn\'t not supply.
The excuse as to why \'Katie\' couldn\'t ring was because she works as a chef on a cruise boat with next to no reception, so she had someone helping her find a place and organise her funds.

They sent me a pic which i googled and it was porn star Dawson Miller, IDIOTS! lol.

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.
