I'm was still getting all the Gumtree scammers sending messages every time I put a new ad on Gumtree but a lot of the messages were only blocked by gumtree from me replying to to scammers messages so I had to log into my email account and block them ,then send them all to the spam folder this stopped all the old scammer accounts sending messages, now there is a report button in Gumtree messaging and I just report them all to gumtree and Gumtree blocks them but you still need to block them in your email account.
I'm still getting at least 3 scam messages every week on my phone ,usually click this link as your parcel was not delivered and the click this link you have unpaid toll etc. It's easy to know when a scammer calls as they always tell you to do something .
The other day a group of scammers were caught and they have a list of all the scammers and are arresting them all no mater what part of the world they live in, if they continue to steal from Australia.
So it's only a matter of time and the scammers will be arrested.
