Scammers galore!!!
Got a few things for sale on here and on ebay
Now on here the ads have my email address and the amount of emails im getting from scammers is ridiculous
Ive had 5 in the last 3 days alone
They are the usual ones i.e my courier will collect, can u send me pics (ad has pics!) no mention of the actual item im selling
Just a very generic email they send out to people selling all kind of items
I know i could not use my email address for contact details but im not willing to use my phone number as you get idiots phoning up all hours asking daft questions
Just want to give you guys a heads up and hear back if anyone else is having as much scammers trying it on as me
Could be the same scammers trying it on with a few of us

Sadly here in Spain I have the same problem. Within hours of posting my bike on a secondhand website similar to Freeads, I get 6 or 7 PayPal scummers telling me the asking price is acceptable and they will pay with PayPal etc etc etc.
Scam, scum!
Try posting your email address as myemail at gmail dot com
That way the automated bots won't pick it up, but you or me should still understand what it is.
