    Warning: Be careful on Gumtree

    Hi

    I just thought I would let you all know as I have been caught 3 times now, if you are looking to buy faulty TV's from Gumtree or any other classified ad's then be warned of people with adverts along the lines of

    "Moving Abroad" "Moving House" "No longer needed" the advert will have a number starting 070, DO NOT RING THEM, they will not pick up the phone and you can be charge between 55p and £1 for the connection, the minimum is 55p and it will show up on your bill, I have just been clobbered £7 on my phone bill, I know its not a massive amount but if you keep ringing them you will be charged each time.

    I do not know if this applies to everywhere but certainly does in the UK

    You cant even buy faulty TV's now without someone out there trying to con us.

    I don't buy any TVs from people "moving abroad"; I've always thought of it as a little dodgy. Very shifty -- perhaps they should limit to mobile numbers & local numbers only on Gumtree? Then again I also use a prepaid mobile plan which does -not- support dialing premium rate numbers.
    Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
