Someone texted me about my Gumtree car, asked for a £30 “ASC report” from UKcardeals, promised payment after collection, then never turned up or answered—don’t fall for that pointless report scam.
Gumtree Car Ad Scam Alert!
Summary — +447727648479
Expert Opinion
Fewer buyers than you'd expect are genuinely keen on cheap cars without strings attached. These texts from this number target Gumtree ads, feigning interest in vehicles before pushing for an 'ASC report' or 'VSC report' costing £30 via UKcardeals—a classic scam tactic to extract upfront payments. Scammers promise reimbursement upon collection but vanish, leaving you out of pocket and without the sale. Block the number immediately and report it to Gumtree and Action Fraud. For any future ad responses, insist on in-person viewings first; never pay for reports or share sensitive details with unverified contacts. Staying vigilant nips these cons in the bud.

I listed a car on Gumtree for £500 and this number kept messaging me. First he said he was interested, then asked for a VSC report, even offering help. It felt dodgy for a £500 car, so I told him the price and cut him off. No more contact – suspicious, right?
