advertised an item on Gumtree, someone showed an interest, sent me there number to call them which i haven't got round to yet...then received this!

my name, I have been waiting for your call since yesterday and obviously you didn't respond probably due to work commitments or other reasons.

I would like to clarify few points with yourself and then it will be entirely your choice for you to respond or leave things the way they are.

The name ......... comes from a Muslim country to which my parents named me going back 35 years ago.

I am a hard working, honest and decent man who will associate with any ordinary person no matter their race, colour, or religion beliefs etc.

The people who I avoid associating with are the people with
negative thoughts, mindful of politics, and people who are doing bad things in this world in the name of their religion.

I was born and brought up in this country and my parents thought me honesty, and principles and I always stuck by these.

We as a family try our best to help any person no matter what there race, colour etc who are less fortunate then us, as any decent human would do.

So after reading this little script I hope you understand on how much serious a person takes himself after not receiving a response, after telling is own name.

I do not want you to feel bad or play the violins for me but you to understand that because of some minority's with their thinking we are not all the same.

Best Regards
(their name)

Missing the point of the thread here, but why sell postage stamps? They're legal tender, just spend them....

Use them to send your Christmas cards.

TheTroutofNoCraic · 18/11/2016 00:14

Stamps are not legal tender btw.

I would be very happy to sell something to someone whatever their name (we sell quite a lot on eBay, not Gumtree), but that is a very strange email. One day is no delay at all! It doesn't deserve a response - block them.

Totally agree with the above delete block run for the hills he sounds odd very odd indeed.
Can imagine you'de have all sorts of issues going ahead with that sale and would steer clear op.

Batshit. Block and report to Gumtree.
