    Well in my case ' I never send anything before $ is in my pocket ,as I never have ANY $ in my account .
    I'll go to the bank first to draw the $ out & than to the PO ;)
    Let the banks sort it out than

    I'm waiting for someone to report a scam from photocopy machines. Apparently they have an electronic record of everything that has been scanned on them which can be downloaded once the machine is onsold.
    Of course there would have been bank records/payslips etc copied on them at some point.

    If you see Gumtree and Paypal together in a same sentence 99.9% chance it's a scam.

    For all Gumtree transactions you must F2F only.
