Listed a car for sale on GumTree, got the same email as the posters above. With the same suspicious typos, offer of $300 etc. Treated him as a real person, replied with a short email on condition of the car (what waste of my time...), told him the payment shall be by Bank Cheque only. He replied "Thanks for your details explained and i'm okay with the full condition of the car now , the agent will be signing all the necessary document on my behalf. So kindly reply back to me with your Bank Account details ( Account Number, BSB Number and Account Name) so i can proceed with the payment now asap. " So I kindly replied with the link to this page and "please explain". He disappeared, what a surprise! /Spam block engaged.

Sent text message from 0421268890 saying only reply by email. Email states "Thank you for the mail, I'm interested in buying this and i will be paying you the asking price so consider it sold,i will like you to be honest with me because i will not be available to come for inspects due to nature of my work, Honestly i am buying this for my son, but the issue is I'm a NAVY Vet and i just got a deployed.It's strictly no call due to the lack of reception on the sea area.

I asked him to transfer the $300 and evidence of a pick up date, then he tried to get to use money gram and then I received a very similar email from another person called McNeff Michael K which is when I knew this was a scam.
