Trying to sell an electric motor on gumtree and I have a message from someone asking me to send the photo of the item to their email address, saying their offices poor wi-fi is preventing them from seeing the photo in the advert!
Is this the start of a scam as it would give them my email address. Not the end of the world but it just doesn't seem right to me.

Let’s assume for a moment that it’s genuine and, in internet terms, they’re not in the auction house, why would you go out of your way to sell to that guy when the house is full of punters? It’s not your problem. Just say no.
