Hi
I feel I need to send forward following content of emails I have been receiving from
[email protected]
Please take care of it, I would like to be not involved to any problems.
Keep my details anonymous please.
I am trying to sell my bicycle on Gumtree - Edinburgh
A guy from Australia offered me buying it but then these weird emails started to come.
It is obvious to me this is a big and classic cheat / fraud and I never sent away any money
To him via Western Union and cancelled the PayPal payment request
And no money transfer between us was actually made
So the guy keep sending me his scam and threats.
Please find the details of this case in his emails below:
