Beware Gumtree ads fake pictures

[johnnypie13]

Seen a lovely Muddyfox on Gumtree only £48 so called the guy up and travelled over to Luton, only about 20 miles, to collect but guess what the picture of the bike isn't the bike he has for sale

completely un-apologetic too :x :x

Only just found out the swine had nicked Duke's picture what an A*sehole

I feel violated!

Guess we all post pics up without considering where they may end up.

Not 100% sure but I may have seen those pics on eBay over the last few weeks as well? I may be wrong, so don't panic, but I'm sure I've seen these pics very recently, and not on here, and I don't frequent gum tree at all.

Gumtree is a nightmare - it's full of dodgy ads.

Generally the rule of thumb is - if it seems to good to be true it probably is.

And of course always exercise caution and don't let the thought of getting a bargain make you do things you normally wouldn't and lastly never be tempted to pay a deposit by western union etc.

I saw a Giant road bike on e-bay about two years ago, advertised with my images! I messaged to say "what the heck are you playing at, using my pictures?" I got a grovelly apology along the lines of "sorry, my camera's broken" - and the ad soon disappeared. It really sucks ~ people should take their own pics! :evil:
