cheap ifor 511 potential scam scotland

[idx]

Hi

This is advertised on gumtree very cheaply

http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-...511-horse-trailer-2010-model-silver/111147215

This is an old warning about a potential scam - scroll down to the picture of the silver 511 and look at the house it is parked outside - very similar. http://www.newrider.com/forum/showthread.php?t=230753

I am not saying it is the same scam but if you are considering this trailer be very careful.

definitely looks like the same trailer to me.

darn evil summers.

but it still shocks me how many people get slammed.
don't hand over the money until you are there in person.
or use a safer guaranteed method like paypal.

Some people never give up - I have reported it to gumtree so hopefully they will do something about it.

I was tempted but as it seemed so cheap and familiar I thought I would check out google for common scams - glad I did and hopefully no one will fall for it.

I remember those photos posted on here a few months back and someone being ripped off. Gumtree is full of scammers, I sold a black Swain side saddle on Ebay to a lady in Europe who loves it and whose horse it fits perfectly last year and the scammers keep "selling" it on there complete with my photos and description. It was a one off, one of a kind saddle too.

Don't trust Paypal either, pay cash for things like that in person as they use stolen PP accounts too.
