The first email reminds me of the time i used gumtree to sell an old graphics card. Similar sort of story, except that this person claimed to want to buy the card for her partner's birthday who was in army and currently on deployment BUT didnt have all the asking cash so she would pay me half now then half later and she was totally going to pay because shes a God fearing woman.
Obviously that was an instant red flag. when she finally told me she wanted to send it somewhere to Africa I asked for the full amount and postage to be paid upfront or the card wasnt going anywhere.
Needless to say there was no further correspondence from her side.
I havent used gumtree to buy or sell anything since i was in my 20s. I used to trawl the classifieds for guitar amps and other music equipment back in the day.

. Then on the other hand i'm too polite to tell 'her' 'she's trying to con me. There's no fool like an old fool eh!
