New scammer alert: username mster2013
Only just came across this guy, but beware, he's trying to flog a Les Paul and a Caparison Dellinger from overseas. Read the following threads, they show that something fishy is going on:

I've had some experience with these jokers...I got caught on Gumtree last year for a scam Hot Rod Deluxe amp. Pamela Hogan was the name they used. She/ they were doing the rounds prolifically, slightly vary the name by taking old ads and photos from Ebay then listing as great offers on gumtree. Luckily i got refunded by UKASH as i wasted no time putting a claim in but a lot more were being scammed with no hope of getting money back... Pretty sad to see they've turned up here. Still, this is a specialist gearheads site, so they are well out of their depth and are exposed quite easily, and i'm sure won't have a lot of success.
