This gave me his email for a header analysis, which seemed to come from the Netherlands (this seems to happen for all my gumtree lot!)
Anyways, a man of few words:

I have no idea where woodley/whitely are. And I can tell you, 520 a month would get you a cardboard box, not a 42-inch! If I wasn't already convinced he's a scammer, the name change did it!

He gave me an address and said he'd see me on Thursday! What, no sob story about needing a viewing deposit?!
What's going on?! Is this a real person?!
It can't be... The pictures were of some luxury home and then the changeover of lad and I am SO confused!!
