WALLIS NEVILLE KEITH - GUMTREE SCAM 
 Scammer
  Information
Name:
WALLIS NEVILLE KEITH
Email Address:
wkeith@outlook.com
I put an ad on Gumtree for a piece of Recording Studio equipment and a Complete Marine Fish Aquarium.
Within seconds of placing this ad, I received an SMS Message from a person asking if the items were still available and to email them at wkeith@outlook.com

The party sent an email requesting my bank details and or a genuine PayPal account email address.

My best guess is this will be an OVERPAYMENT scam whereby the criminal pretends to wire funds to my account but wires MORE than the cost of the goods. He would then request I return the overpayment amount in full. If he acts quickly, it would be days before I would realise the wire transfer was false and the monies to my account were cancelled.

So...NICE TRY

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.
