golden rule #1
if you cannot speak to a human on a landline corresponding to the location of the item for any reason whatsoever then its a scam.
ebay,gumtree and everywhere else is full of similar scams ranging from puppies,to cars,vans,motorbikes,ectect.
they all work from the same formula and are easy to spot.
they have either relocated,offshore workers on a survey ship,hearing or speech impaierd,and want to have the item delivered to you…just all scams.
on a positive note however…
i constantly have adverts in various places for campervans and ■■■■ and regulary get contacted by all sorts of invariably muslim sounding cretins from accident centres and other such invented places trying to scam me.
they all work from a similar scrips,but i do find them all a great way of stress relief as no matter what you call them down the phone ,then theres no way they can complain to anyone about the tirade of racial abuse they just recieved into their earholes…
obviously its good practice to block their number after doing so…
