This person offered to purchase an item I have advertised on Gumtree. I provided my bank details not knowing that this may be a scam and have not heard from this person since. Will be contacting my bank to keep a check on my account.
Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
Emails people on Gumtree saying hes interested in an item, says he will need the item overseas and use a courier company, then asks for your bank details without responding afterwards. Has the ability to text message for inital contact but doesn't send number with message.

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.
