While most individuals who use Gumtree have success with buying, selling, renting or connecting with others, from time to time we do receive reports of people attempting to scam or defraud our users. We have found that one of the best ways to address this problem is to ensure that all transactions take place locally and in-person. Remember that Gumtree is a local classifieds web site and Ads are not reviewed before they go live on the site.
So if you have been in contact with a potentially fraudulent ad please contact us using the "Contact Gumtree" link below and if you haven't already done so advise the police to log a ticket or email us as per above and we will provide all the information about the ad directly to them.
