In my whole years of internet surfing i have received numerous email letters telling me to forward that very important email, because my dog would die, or my dvd player would burn or I would win amazing amounts of money and other tragic stories.
I got this by email from a trusted person. And it is a totally new fraud - scam concept. Hence it might be true. Whatever it is, proceed with caution.
Can you circulate this around especially as Xmas is fast approaching - it has been confirmed by Royal Mail. The Trading Standards Office are making people aware of the following
A card is posted through your door from a company called PDS (Parcel Delivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and that you need to contact them on 09066611911 (a Premium rate number).
DO NOT call this number, as this is a mail scam originating from Belize.
If you call the number and you start to hear a recorded message you will already have been billed £315 for the phone call.
If you do receive a card with these details, then please contact Royal Mail Fraud on 02072396655.

Proceed with caution
I must admit that I do not know for sure that this one is a scammer, but that is the notion I got from our correspondence
email: jlc10160@yahoo.com
Name: ILONA HUCKE
Address: Spinhuis str 4, 8713KE, Hindeloopen, Netherlands
The things that got me thinking about it, was that he/she wanted to pay only by check.
He/She was singing the emails as Jeff
And asked about my last price. I really dont get it. If I wanted a lower price I would have stated so. (ONO, or price negotiable).
The email doesn't seem to have any relation to the name that wanted the item send to.
Was more polite that I would ever think, with a writing similar to various other Nigerian Scammers "Dear Seller" and such stuff.
Be cautious about it.

DO NOT GIVE SCAMMERS PERSONAL DETAILS!
after reading some of the forum posts here in gumtree scams, I came across this one:
"I applied for to jobs on here and within a week iv received over £500 in cheques or travellers cheques, sound great till i started getting death threats to send the money back, they ask for your address then will tell you they will send you a payment so you know they are serious. they work in so many ways, they are either mony laudering, drug money or they are trying to get acess t your bank details. and the p[olice can't do anything about it, infact i still have the cheques a home."
So my thoughts were pretty much correct. If you provide address and name, then you get threatened and blackmailed...
