Default Re: Gumtree Scammers

He has been doing this for years, I would say he makes a living from it, he tried it with me 5 years ago with a Kawasaki ninja front rim, I always do the number look up when dealing with anyone who contacts me.

He is not the only one doing it, there is another junkie piece of $#!t from Victoria doing the same crap, he tried the same thing on the same wheel I was looking for, but when you look up his phone number, his home address is on the phone lookup page, from what I read back then he lives in a house full of scum and they all come out when confronted.

Useless.....

Reported someone using my name and work address to defraud tens of thousands and gave them the exact information and what was needed catch them.

That was 18months ago.

I stopped reporting them about 12 months ago.

They never got a call, neither did I.

I think they continue today, just using a different address.

Copper mate told me unless it's $100k+ they won't look into it.

But 40 transactions of $1500-2k must be ok??

And I think the savy crooks know that.
