twice i have had a replay about a nanny job, and these people end up asking me for my bank account details, saying there is money that will be shipped to me and also that the job they want me to do is nothing like a nanny job, these are scams and i have had several of these emails, gumtree really needs to update their security on the site

Hi

I saw the ffg add on gumtree as i was desperately looking for a kitchen set. When i saw the picture i was very happy. i called the person and they told me it was R1800. i did tell the lady that i can pay R1500 as i needed to transport it from Chatsworth to Verulam. She was happy and agreed. I asked about the condition she said it was brand new. so i was happy and i got a transport company to fetch it for me and deliver to my home. I paid them R300 for delivery. When my husband saw it, it was not the one we saw on the internet(GUMTREE). When i called the lady she asked me to speak to her husband and he says that he wasnt sure which photo was on the website. i think that it was really deceiving, cos the entire negotiation was on the picture on the internet. the cost of that particular kitchen set costs about R850 in my area. this was a total rip off, all the guy did was apologise. this is unacceptable. Whi is going to be reponsible for this as this is fraud. you cannot advertise for someting and charge a price but deliver something totally different. I would like a refund of R500 from this person or he should be charged for misuse and misleadingn people.

This is really upsetting and people should be really careful when buying anything from gumtree . i suggest you see the stuff physically before buying ...

Gumtree is a Fake Organization which Steals Cash from People's Accounts.


* Most of the 'Ad Responders' are Fake Staff who are paid by Gumtree Agents to give the impression that appropriate feedback is being given.


* Gumtree also stole money from my Credit Card without publishing my ad, and is now refusing to refund my cash.


*My advice to everybody is pure and simple : Avoid Gumtree Featured Adverts. Do not pay Gumtree for any Featured Advertising. If you must post your ads on Gumtree, then post your adverts on there for free. Do not Pay Gumtree a dime.

Thanks.

Kindly refund this Cash, as none of the adverts (below) were appropriately featured.

To this effect, Gumtree has now stolen a total of almost £40 from my Account for the following 2 adverts which were never duly featured.

I want my money paied back to my card or I will sue you for £1, 000, 000 for each day that you delay.

Thank You.
