Why Is it that when you post a Gumtree ad everyone wants you to contact them via email?

Is it a scam, whats the catch?
Is it to see how desperate you are in that if you'll comply with their method of contact you must be desperate to sell.

I even had one say 'I cant message through Gumtree', I was like, but you just messaged to tell me that..lol

As soon as you say no emails, they drop off.
Have a couple of things on Gumtree at this time.Got 5 messages on a car.4 scammers and 1 legit.Scammers were all offshore oil or gas workers who wanted to pay me and get their courier to pick up the car.
