This person stated he was working on a west aquarius semi-submersible and wanted to send payment via paypal without even looking at my vehicle for sale. He sounded very real and asked me to take down my kijiji advert so he could be the favourite buyer. He emailed me and said the transfer was done and paypal was going to send me a confirmation.
Lo and behold an email from paypal saying because they had previous bad experience I must send some money to the agent picking up the car via western union to some guy in china. Once and only after I sent the money the funds would be transferred to my paypal account.

Yeaa right buddy who do you think I am.

Please please be careful with these types of emails as they try and swindle you any way possible.
Don\'t release any personal information ever even if it looks legit.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
