With you, although sadly they are not responsible for the scam.

Can you give me the details of the scam your family member fell for today. Especially

Bank Name
Beneficiary Name
Sort Code
Account Number
Amount Lost

Please give these details first so I can report them to the bank and try get the account closed ASAP

To further this thread. I have today and yesterday been in contact with the same person. This time the item was a Mini Cooper S.

Person emailed with the exact same response:

Hello,
The car is still for sale in excellent condition, with no damages or any faults. All necessary documents available. My current location is Scotland due to my work commitments. If this is going to be a quick sale, I will let it go for £2700 delivered at my costs.
The deal will go through eBay and PayPal.
Thank you

I then proceeded to do some further digging as I do with any car. I asked for a telephone number to talk about the car, however the seller responded with:

I am unable with phone so please use email as primary contact option. I dont use phone for internet deals.

Alice

Then the seller was asking to proceed through PayPal and they would give me a 7 day guarantee on the purchase after delivery.

All seems a bit strange. I have emailed the following and now waiting for response if I ever get one:

I don't think I will proceed with the purchase, the reason for this is below:

I have been doing some research on Google and found that your email address has came up in regards to some rather worrying stories from other people purchasing items of Gumtree. They also received the exact same email response to the advert that I have, in regards to another item.

This is now resulting in a loss of confidence. Which I am sure you can understand.

If you would like to respond by all means do.


Hope this helps anyone who researches the email address. Also can there be anything done further to report the person if it is a scam?

Hi Dan and thank you for that, if they do come back to you it would be useful as we could then obtain the bank details and get them shut down.

Hi guys well it has been over a week since my family member was scammed by these people who continue to take hard earned cash from honest people..

Police have visited who didnt seem interested even when we pointed out web sites like legal beagles amongst others who had many people sharing there story's , they advised us to contact the fraud squad for an update on the case, we did a week after first reporting to the police but again we got no real answers..

These scammers are using several email addresses and some end with .......@sbtpro.co.uk
