The email reply -

 

Good morning Matt,

This "NEW Chainsaw Husqvarna 395XP" is in perfect condition.

The price is 330 pounds and want to sell it because I got a new Stihl gift.

 

I am in Dublin until July 20 to work.

The delivery will be next day and you will have the opportunity to try the item at your address before I receive the money... blah blah blah

I messaged asking If i could have it.

 

Reply was please email at [email protected] and "make sure you put the gumtree ads title as the title of the email"... "so i know which ad you are replying to"

 

He only had one ad...

 

Then tells me his away for months and starts telling me how "safe it is to send money via one of those online payment systems"

 

Just look at his wording - "This "NEW Chainsaw Husqvarna 395XP" is in perfect condition.

The price is 330 pounds and want to sell it because I got a new Stihl gift."

 

He has since edited the wording.

 

NOT a fake saw, but blatantly a scam.
