   Sighs, you’re complaining about scams in a cartoon post. Might I suggest you take your complaints to the correct channel, the Gumtree feedback forum: http://forums.gumtree.com/viewforum.php?f=6

   I’ll contact you by email as well to sort out your issue

   Sorry to state the obvious, but I’d bet my bottom dollar (or £100,000s of scam money in the current vernacular of text) that Sighs and Double Sighs are the same person. Weirdo.

   Well done Sighs, only been a Gumtree follower for a week but what I’m seeing and hearing is sickening. You are taking the time to warn people of what is going on and now you’re being penalised. I think Gumtree should be paying you instead! Seems to be that the “dog” (did you get the pun i used there) on the street knows the scam that’s being pulled and Gumtree seem obviously. WHY ARE THEY TURNING A BLIND EYE? ME WONDERS!!!!!

   Well Jon , i posted info on the fake adds to try and warn people . I now find that i can no longer post adds . Why ban someone that protects Gumtree users and continue posting adds that rip people off , it makes no sense .

   The figure i state would be worldwide , via google i have found he pulls the same scam in America and Australia , the 1st part of the con costs people £200 . He then claims to be a customs officer and asks for a further $600 for insurance and $400 for a warm crate , people fall for the 2nd part aswell .

   I have been monitoring the pets on London Gumtree the last few days , he has been VERY active .

   I got my dog from Gumtree , a proper breeder that is now a friend , it is a great site that is sadly ruined by fake adds and the fact that someone who tries to help protect people finds himself banned

    Hey Sighs, I’m afraid the cartoonist that we use has no experience in detecting fake ads. We do however have a crack team that does detect and remove over 90% of those ads! £100,000s is a big number. How did you work that out?

    Rather than playing around making silly cartoons , gumtree should instead worry more about the fake pet adds posted on its site that have seen gumtree members conned out of £100,000s . Wake up .

    It’s funny, do love the expressions. Though, it is slightly ‘Gumtree: The fast, online salvation to all your criminal woes.’
