I put my iPhone on Gumtree last night. Never used it before but I have had two emails:

Hi,
is this item still for sale? Please get back to me asap bcos your item is of an urgent interest to me.please reply directly to my id marlinscott900 At G mail dot c om
From: Marlin

and:

Hi there i need THIS ITEM EMAIL ME YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS TO THIS staceypeters661ATYAHOO.CO.UK i want to buy it.
From: Stacey

Are these generic emails from advertising/scammers? Don't seem the slightest bit legit to me?

You will get more time wasters if you have got your email on show to reply to. Just stick with your mobile number as the contact details.

Much you selling it for?

Mines was up for 210. Mint condition, boxed and all accessories. Had to take it off because of the iphone 5 stock wait.

Deffo dodgy. And you will get no help from Gumtree.

Cash on collection. "of urgent interest to me" is Nigerian for I'm a dirty water drinking scamcunt.
