Selling on gumtree

Post by Domwhitex »

Put the Corsa on gumtree and I get a text saying someone rang me but couldn't get through and could I email them... Okay fair enough I have I check my email to and there's an email from gumtree saying the same bloke has requested to purchase my ad so I follow the link and it wants card details?

Legit or a scam? I ain't sold stuff on gumtree before! Image

Based purely on the Web address being sorely.pstgu.ru I'd say scam

I never had to give payment details to gumtree
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
