I'm posting this so people don't get scammed....

E-mail - [email protected]

phone number what they first contacted on "Kelly" (this should have been a warning from the start)

This is the Text message i first got - ( Hi, is your Music-instrument still available for sale? what is the final selling price?? reply to my email at [email protected] ) - From a phone number what didn't show but what only said "kelly"

This is the E-Mail "she" sent me - (Hello thanks for reply,i am currently on offshore working as an health
and safety manager on the rigs, . I am buying this for my daughter as a
surprise gift. However,does it have any history I should be aware of?
and why are you selling if you don't mind my asking and I will really and will add
£50 to your selling price so that you can consider it sold to me.
I can only pay through Paypal at the moment as i can not come to pay you
cash personally or send you check due to my present location but i
have it attached to my Paypal account and this is why i insisted on
using Paypal to pay,all i will need is your Paypal email address to
make the payment, and if you don't have a Paypal account yet, you can set one it
cant take you less than 3 mins to do that, i will be expecting your Paypal
email so l can pay . I have a pick up agent that will
come for the pick up after payment has been sorted out and cleared in
your account,
l will be waiting for your reply asap.)



"she" then went on to say she will send me £720, £200 to send to her Currier Via western union, £20 for the charge to send the money and £500 for the item i was selling on Gumtree. claiming "she" believes there are still good people in this world what "she" believes she can trust....


P.s if i have posted this in the wrong part please move, Thank you.
