Does Gumtree work with law enforcement?

Gumtree works with local and international law enforcement agencies to help keep the site free from scams and other illegal activities. We’re committed to keeping Gumtree a safe place, and will always assist in a criminal investigation. In accordance with our privacy policy and data protection legislation, we’ll provide evidence to law enforcement and give evidence in court where necessary.

If you’re a member of the police, Trading Standards or any other law enforcement agency, email us here: aupolicerequest@gumtree.com.au

While most individuals who use Gumtree have success with buying, selling, renting or connecting with others, from time to time we do receive reports of people attempting to scam or defraud our users. Remember that Gumtree is a classifieds web site and ads are not reviewed before they go live on the site.

If you have been in contact with a potentially fraudulent ad please contact our customer support team here and if you haven't already done so, advise the police to log a ticket or email us as per above and we will provide all the information about the ad directly to them.
