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:

Hahaha ideally of him holding a sign and a banana in his mouth!  What did he think I wanted?!
I tried to catch him out, as I guess he'd have mass mailed and might need to look back at my add to check the area:

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!

Thursday 2.15 is fine.
Give me the address of the property and I will meet you there. I'll
note down your number in case of any delays on the day. |
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!!
Ideas? |
