Phishing scam emails - Gumtree does not nothing Phishing scam emails are sent through their own system. They do not respond to any emails ( supposedly within 24 h) - Im still waiting 4 days later. Not alone - see others with same complaint below. These individuals should be removed immediately but gumtree does nothing. Advertise with this site at our own risk

Why bother listing an ad if you are just going to delete it randomly? Posted an ad and it got randomly deleted. I provided many photos and a very detailed description.

Neg 100 gumtree has turned extremely bad So gumtree tells me my new account was blocked for no reason This was my response to their email... Oh ok. Funny i had an account (which i deactivated last year) for several years. But gumtree seems to be ok with scammers on there. The only 5 different messages i received for my items were all scammers which i reported and nothing gets done about them. But me being a legit person with legit reasons to sell my items gets punished. That's ok tho. I will just take my items to another place to sell. Thanks for letting me know I am blocked and no longer have the account so saves me the headache of deleting my items and the time i would waste on your app. Have a nice day

Wasted hours trying to list an item and… Wasted hours trying to list an item and ad never appeared. Tried over several weeks to no avail. Now I've read other reviews re scammers etc. I'm glad I didn't pursue it further!

Sellng to scammers and other bad people Like others, I would give zero stars to Gumtree if I could. I'm paying for an expensive and ineffective ad that is a magnet to trolls and scammers. Gumtree posts lots platitudes about making it a safe site but no real protections are installed and it relies upon its users to police its site for the bad people. This is cheap and ineffective policy. How about Gumtree developing some smart tracking software that can identify these parasites and follow up with some criminal prosecutions. It cannot be too difficult. In the meantime, until it has better security and safety for users it will deteriorate into a trashy and untrusted site.
