“I think they are the scamsters who are scamming the people. If you think about it why is it that these scamsters are never caught and keep doing it when Claire Cobbledick of gumtree has the perpetrator's email address, contact number and possibly ip address??? Also they delete your ads as soon as you post it citing "only allowed one ad" while their friends are posting up to 36 ads and then she is arrogant and refuses to explain!”

“Their rating system is a sham, allowing anyone who messages a seller to leave a bad rating regardless of whether they purchased the item or not”

“got scammed, gumtree support is completely useless, customer service non-existent, this is the trouble with these big companies they think they are above the law and everyone else, disgusting behaviour, will not be using them again, beware they are not trustworthy or reliable for buyers, they take no action against fraudsters or scammers, avoid gumtree at all costs, just read their other appalling reviews on the web”

“I had a “lady” try to scam me yesterday, asked for my address and PayPal password, sent me emails saying that she had made a payment for £250 and PayPal had confirmed and emailed me. (item was£40 ) apparently I had to transfer £200 back to the company before the transaction could go through???!!!!! I did receive a fake email from “PayPal “ also stating this !!!! I told her that I was reporting her and have done so , please be careful as she was very good with her emails and sounded genuine. I am now getting hundreds of strange emails ( not opening) even from people I have not had contact with for over ten years, so I have also now got numerous virus attempts. I also have one star and a poor review ( not sold anything or had any interest in anything other than that scammer , so must be her) NOT WORTH IT - BE AWARE !!!!! I will be deleting my account this evening. Her name is Lorraine wheel.”

“All I wanted to do was give away a printer (Epson 7620 all inked up), well it was actually £10 just to cover the cost of the Gumtree advert. I 'sold' it and I was told th epayment had been made via my PayPal account and I should send my address. Now I'm no dummy and I have been on the internet since day one and I have seen every scam! No payment arrived so no address for collection of course. Other contacts wanted to know if it came in the box - obviously a trader. Who would ask otherwise? It just seemed that everyone wanted a cheap printer to put back on Ebay! What happened to the local people doing business that their TV advert shows? Nice people buying bicycles from each other. No, it seems it is full of traders and scammers and I would never use Gumtree again! It's telling that 74.29% of reviews on here are for one star - be warned.”

“I am writing about British seller Henley-Homes. I contacted him regarding a macbook he is selling and gave my phone number. He whatsapped me and even left his voice recording and suggested to send the laptop to me with a courier and to send an invoice to my company. I gave him my company details and he disappeared. He doesn't reply to whatsapp messages and his phone is not available. I think rjis seller is a scum. Be careful with him or better investigate him before buying anything from him.”
