However,does it have any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don't mind my asking and I will really appreciate if you can email more info and if possible more photos.

Hi all,

My partner listed an engagement ring on gumtree and the same email address [email protected] wrote to him saying exactly the same thing as everyone mentioned. Also another email address is [email protected]. He uses the name Ryan Gould.

This is from Ryan:
Thanks for the mail....I am very keen. How i wish i could come for viewing and  inspection as am currently overseas at the moment and i want  it picked up before i get back. Due to my inability to make a bank deposit,  I would be paying via PayPal which is safer for me or bank transfer as well safe. Kindly  send me a paypal payment invoice or create an account at  www.paypal.com if you dont have one or your bank details for me to make payment. I will make a  concrete pick up arrangement with my transport agent who will  be coming over for pick up once you receive full payment into  your PayPal account. Have a nice day.
Cheers and pls inform other buyers you sold it as am ready to purchase it right away.

another response from Ryan:
I have just completed the Payment from my paypal account to your Bank Account and i am sure you have received the confirmation from PayPal regarding the Payment made. You can check your e-mail or junk/spam for confirmation of payment.a total of $3,700.00 was sent, $3,000.00 for the merchandise and the extra $600.00 for the shipper's and $100.00 for western union charges,which you will be sending to the address below via western union

Name: Malathy Mahendran
Address: 12,Tmn Bukit Seputih
City: Kuantan
State: Kuala Lumpur
Zip Code: 53000
Country: Malaysia

All other documentations should be prepared by the Pick Up Agent. You should send the money soon so that the agent can schedule time and you would know when the Pick Up would commence, make sure you're home. I advice you to check both your inbox or junk folder for the payment confirmation message..The  shipper would be coming around to your area to have the merchandise picked up once you have sent the shipping charges fee to them, as i need you to let me know what time you want them to come and where (your address & phone # you can be reached on)

I will be waiting to hear from you once the money has been sent to my shipper.
Thanks for the business.
