Received a text saying: Hi,I saw your Jewellery AD on gumtree and am very keen.Let me know its condition.Kindly reach me at kylebrandon566 AT gmail.com.

I was suspicious of this as I have my email contact in the ad and have pictures and description on the ad. so I created a throw away email address and sent an email. This is the conversation which is still in going. I want to see how far this goes. I did slip in one of his aliases to see if he notices! Please start from the very bottom of this box:

I'm in Dundee so there would be no need for international postage if being sent to Norwich, England. I have used the pictures from Rox's website and my own but to be fair none of the pictures do the neck lace justice.
Brand new from Rox the necklace is £595. I couldn't take that money from you after wearing it and I do not have the original box. It does have Rox's hallmark though and in a navy gift box.

I was advised from various Jewellers to sell it for £350.

Hope this helps.

Hi

There is no damage to the necklace as it was only worn once for a wedding. It is a flawless diamond colour D (clear white).

It's hallmarked by Rox. I was told this by Stephen Henderson Jewellers when they looked at it. They advised I sell it on gumtree and ebay.

Both Stephen Henderson and Ernest Jones advise to sell it for £350 given Rox sell it for £595.

It has been sitting untouched in the gift box pictured for 4 years. A shame because it is beautiful. Though it looks small it gives off a lot of sparkle.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
Beware of this buyer, he has contacted me today wanting to buy a laptop and exact same excuse why he can't talk. He also said the exact same stuff about buying for his son and gave a address in Gravesend to post it to.
He then tried to say he's sent the money by Netbank and they require the item to be posted with the postage ref attached to be able release the funds to my account. Got an email in my Junk folder with this info..
AVOID BLATENT SCAMMER!!
