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

I don't know who's contacting me but… I don't know who's contacting me but they are 99% not real people & if I could give you a lesser rating I would

Cust service is very bad through chat… Cust service is very bad through chat very aggressive and misbehave and they chat automatically close before you stop or addressee your issues. they force me to pay for every add or post your items on ebay. i have been user from 2012 they blocked my account just because i post some excersize stuff like latex bands arm blaster etc. i am very shocked beware full dont give them your details like bank info etc, this company now are under ebay managment they are very greedy they steel your info. i will never use gumtree again for buying or selling and advise all my friends and faimlies to avoid gumtree and ebay.

Rubbish security and full of scammers Just full of scammers. Then when my account was compromised, no-one let me know. They just shut it down. Lost my rep. lost my ads. And they could not tell me if my Google credentials had been compromised (log ins via Google).

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.
