Beware when you advertise something
Beware untuk my friends yang nak advertisekan barang-barang kat Gumtree, especially untuk barang yg agak mahal. It happen to us.
We advertised our car in Gumtree. Ada 1 orang ni sms/call Shahbaz untuk emailkan gambar kerete. Lepas Shahbaz dah emailkan, dia bagi one email.
The email came from speter481@gmail.com,

"I am very keen,regarding it Let me know the actual asking price. How i
wish i could come and view what am buying from you.but am currently
working overseas at the moment and i want it picked up before i get back,
though i will be back in couple of weeks. I would be paying via PayPal which is safer for me.
Kindly send me a paypal payment invoice or create an account at
www.paypal.com.au if you dont have one. I will make a concrete pick up
arrangement with my transport agent who will be coming over for pick
up once you receive full payment into your PayPal account
Have a nice day"
The email sound weird right. How can he wants the car without take a look by himself or test-drive. Not even asking about the condition of the car or Rego?
I search from the internet about this guy. Yeah he cheated alot of people. He will asked you to pay to the agent first, then he will pay back the money to you through Paypal. Jahat punya orang.
Be careful
