RE: How Not To Get Scammed on GumTree

in LeoFinance3 years ago

Aww hun try not to beat yourself up about it. I think when we are under pressure it's so easy to ignore our intuition.

Same thing happened to me when I was looking for a house rental. These scammers are convincing and while in the back of my head I thought it too good to be true, I so desperately needed a place to live. I should have listened when he said bank transfer only. In the UK if you pay any sum by bank transfer the liability becomes yours and the bank can't help.

Thank you for writing this post because there are times when we let our guard down.

Sending you big hugs and hope that the Land rover doors manifest for you soon.

Did you send the transfer? That sucks. I do hope anyone reading this makes a mental note to self: LISTEN TO YOUR GUT!!!

yeah I got swindled out of £600 the bank compensated me £6! it really was a valuable lesson xoxox

💚🤗

Yikes! That beats me! Only once, right?

yes, never again. I haven't used gumtree since either lol xx
