Everyone please watch for this dude by the name of simon jonathan in gumtree

He offers to buy laptops. He stated that he wanted to buy my yoga 720 and dell 9550. He shows a picture of a bank transfer by bank of america. However, it's absolute crap. I asked him for MT103 or SWIFT message as this would be provided by the bank if there is an overseas transfer. However, he totally ignored my message.

Now he threatens to wipe out my family.

His contact number is 90893724. Everyone please be warned. And if there any police out there, please help me out as I actually provided him my address. Thank you!

How come he can hostage you? Money not in and goods won't be sold to him. Simple as that. He can call police even and 100% won't work.

The message contents what kids overseas and payment modes are almost similar for most scams i came across. That is why I always insist on COD.
