Hello!
Ive been on the market for a new Kit latley... so when a Pork Pie Squeeler kit (22x20 12x9 16x16 & 14x7) came up on gumtree for just short of £200 i thought wow!
Messaged them streight away, received a reply saying that i could come look at it which seemed preety good.... then got another e-mail saying they had been called into work so couldnt do that day (beliveable enough).
The next day i got an e-mail saying that they could post the kit (free of charge) using there work post account (getting dodgey) but i could pay the driver on delivery (ok so at least i cant get scammed, right?)
Arranged the details and she said she would ship it on wednesday, then got an e-mail from parcelforce (wasnt really parcel force it turns out) saying that i needed to go to a local shop and get a UKCASH voucher, scan and send to parcel force before they released the delivery... this is where i got very suspicios, did a bit of googleing and realised that no drum kit would turn up and i wouldnt see my money again if i paid, so obviously i didnt pay! reported to gumtree ect..... I am preety clued up on this kind of stuff but even I was nearly taken in! The e-mail address they used was [email protected].
I'd hate for anyone to get caught out by this, so please beware!! and if it seems to good to be true, it is!!
