Caller: Samantha Holmes

Send me a sms at 3 am about my gumtree ad, asking for just email contact. I was suspicious right away but still gave it a go. Could be someone working on nightshift after all...
Then she replied with the same questions and airforce story like mentioned before. I answered her questions and next reply from her was that she wanted to buy unseen.
That was it for me

Caller: Samantha Holmes

I received a message today from 0436 597 011...

Is your vehicle listed still available? Contact me to my email (cravsamanth @ gmail.com) if you still have it for sale.Email only.No text pls

Then,

Where is it located at the moment?what's your final price?Why are you selling it?does it need anything to be replace or repair?I'm a Squadron leader at Royal Australian Air Force and i have been currently deployed .I have limited phone access and that's why i prefer the sales through email.Regarding the payment, I can pay you through direct bank deposit (EFT),using PayPal instant bank wire transfer service.I will need your Account name,BSB and Account number. If you are not comfortable with that, you can set up a PayPal account properly at www.PayPal.com.auand I will make the payment through PayPal,this way, all I will need is your PayPal email address.

I have also contacted my courier who will come for pick up and deliver it to my place in Darwin after the whole fund has been cleared into your acct.With the issue of my details,transferring the name of ownership and signing of all paperwork will be done by the pick up agent and i can also buy it unregistered .

Await your reply

Regards

As soon as I listed a car in Gumtree, I received this: "I'm Samantha, Is your vehicle listed still available? Contact me to my email cravsamanth @ gmail.com if you still have it for sale. Email only, No text pls.
I googled the email address and I found many complaints about it.
What do you want my email for???

Same as all above after posting car for sale on gumtree samanthboat @gmail.com Claimed to be sqd ldr on deployment and that her agent would pick the car up and take to Darwin. Asking questions that are all answered in the ad if you look at it. Ask for paypal email address. Also language in text appears to be broken english

Exactly the same message re a car ad on Gumtree, the entire bull**** story of being in Darwin etc.
Don't go giving her any bank account details

I also had a car ad on gumtree and had the same response, email me only and that she is a solider in Darwin. The email requested my bank details and claims she has a courier who will come and collect it. Does anyone know how the scam works ? Are they after my identity?

Response from Car Ad on Gumtree:
Is your Vehicle still available? Contact me to my email
(samanthaholmesfez @ gmail.com) if you still have it for sale. Email only. No text pls.

Phone number for text message was 0436 597 000
I thought is bogus just by the wording of the text and searched her name, scammer.

same here on gumtree

Soldier on deployment wanting to buy caravan, sight unseen. Originally texted only (phone calls apparently unavailable from where she was!!!!) and then changed to email only and wanted bank account details. Didn't hear from again when this was refused!

Received a message on 15-12-2017 saying call state revenue office to check first home owners grant.

A text received asking me to call a repair centre on a 1300 number regarding my faulty device.

received a text from this number wanting to buy a car sight unseen from a soldier in NT. Could not dial this number, only text. Very very dodgy.
