Gumtree Scammers

[Rallye Sport]

Just a reminder for those still using the Gumtree platform.

I ran a wanted ad for some parts over the weekend, I've had alot of luck getting parts this way but theres always an element of danger to it.

This one stood out as a warning.
The guy contacted me via phone, polite and chatty, then sent some pics of the item to my email. At this point I checked his number here
https://www.numberlookup.com.au/
Theres a long list of complaints.
I then double checked the screen shot pics he sent me with google images and guess what, he ripped them straight from the net
I strung him along requesting a postage estimate and he voice called me with a quote and his bank details this morning, I strung him along a little further then, shall we say, ended the game.

So if get a call from Steven Phelps on 0484697368 Beware.

If anyones had the same experience with any other of these muppets, post the details for the sake of others in the car community.
