I wanted to buy an item on Gumtree and I contacted the seller.
She replied providing her gmail address and mobile number but said she lives in a low signal area.
She said she works long hours and can't show me the item I wanted to buy (it was a bed) but she works for a big company and one of the benefits was sending items via parcelforce.
She said I can pay cash but then she said the shipping company uses Ukash and I have to buy 60.00 voucher.
I though that it is not right to pay upfront for something that I never saw and typed some info into google... And there it was... The same scam... She is using the same e-mails but changes name and surname.
I have received an e-mail from a shipping company asking me to pay but I never did thanks to people posting their messages about the scam.
