It's amazing how relentless these scammers are... it's quite pathetic and yet you find people falling for it!

Further clarification: Gumtree, OLX, ect. are absolutley littered with scammers. These guys make a living off of it.

 

It's common for them to duplicate ads from overseas classifieds websites, so that they have credible pics and spec sheets for whatever they're selling.

 

Remember, if it's too good to be true, it probabl is and NEVER pay for something that isn't in your grubby paws yet.

I'm sure he only has 1 left. Trying to give you some comfort that they are selling well.

 

As crooked as Zuma is.

Hub classifieds would not work then. It's common for buyer to pay and then seller to courier/post.
